Velari Straight olive bit for horse Flex Soft

Main features

• Soft synthetic covering for a gentle touch
• Flexible straight mouthpiece promoting natural movement
• Made from non-toxic materials that are safe for the horse
• Olive rings for greater stability
• Suitable for horses preferring a soft and forgiving feel

The Velari Eggbut Flex Soft 20 mm is designed for horses that benefit from a softer and more forgiving mouthpiece. It promotes relaxation and chewing activity while maintaining a steady connection. The soft material combined with a flexible core offers a pleasant feel and helps reduce tension in sensitive horses.

The outer layer is made from a soft, non-toxic synthetic material that is safe for daily use. Its smooth finish protects delicate oral tissues, while the flexible core allows the bit to naturally adapt to the horse's mouth. Horses that do not like rigid or metal bits often respond with better relaxation and increased salivation with this type of material.

This bit features a straight, flexible mouthpiece that gently conforms to the shape of the mouth without causing the nutcracker effect of jointed bits. Its flexibility absorbs tension, encourages gentle acceptance, and prompts the horse to reach forward for contact. With a thickness of 20 mm, the pressure is widely distributed, making it particularly comfortable for sensitive tongues and bars.

The olive rings keep the mouthpiece more stable in the horse's mouth, limiting excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners. This stability is ideal for horses that prefer a calmer bit and helps them remain confident in contact. The fixed rings ensure consistent and reliable rein aids, for a soft yet secure connection throughout the session.

Horses with sensitive mouths
