Description
This bit lies softly
curved over the tongue, supporting a relaxed, attentive feel throughout the
ride. Its design encourages gentle jaw movement and helps create an elastic,
refined connection between horse and rider.
Made from sweet iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes during use, which stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to stay soft and accepting in the mouth. This contributes to a more supple contact and a calmer, more confident way of going.
The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing the nutcracker effect and offering a smooth, stable feel. Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a bit that follows the shape of the mouth often respond particularly well to this design. It is also a great option for horses with a lower palate, as the double-jointed construction reduces upward movement toward the roof of the mouth, providing extra comfort.
With loose rings, the mouthpiece is allowed to move freely, promoting light chewing activity and helping the horse stay flexible and attentive in the hand. This increased mobility supports precise rein aids and keeps the connection soft and responsive throughout the ride.
Ideal For
- horses that appreciate a soft, mobile mouthpiece
- Horses with a lower palate who tend to be sensitive to the nutcracker effect of single-jointed bits
- riders who seek precision and elasticity without tension

Care & Use
After each ride, rinse the bit
with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. Over time, the sweet iron will
develop a light patina — a natural oxidation process that enhances taste and
acceptance. Store in a dry place and check regularly for smooth, even wear.
Make sure the bit is positioned
correctly: the star must be on the left side and the Velari logo on the right.
