Double Joint Olive Bit, Stainless Steel | Velari

Main features

· double jointed bit for even pressure distribution on the tongue and bars

· sweet iron promotes natural salivation and relaxation

· full cheekpieces provide stable guidance and clear, precise rein aids

Description
This bit rests gently in the horse's mouth, offering a direct and attentive feel from the first contact. Its double-jointed design distributes pressure evenly and ensures gentle communication between rider and horse, while the full cheekpieces provide sustained lateral guidance and keep the bit stable in the mouth—an advantage for young or less experienced horses. This promotes reliable bit acceptance and a consistent connection, without unnecessary complexity.

Made of sweet iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes with use, stimulating salivation and encouraging the horse to stay soft and responsive in the mouth. This contributes to a more supple contact and a calmer, more confident attitude.

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly on the tongue and bars, avoiding the nutcracker effect and offering a soft, stable feel. Horses that benefit from balanced pressure and a bit that follows the natural shape of the mouth often respond very well to this model. It is also an excellent option for horses with a low palate, as the double joint reduces movement towards the palate, providing additional comfort. 

With full cheekpieces, the bit offers precise lateral aid, helping the horse understand the rider's indications with clarity and calmness. It is an excellent choice for young or inexperienced horses, as the fixed cheekpieces provide gentle and reliable direction. The cheekpieces keep the mouthpiece stable, encouraging soft chewing and a confident connection. This stability supports precise rein aids and a fluid, consistent connection throughout the work.

Ideal for

· horses that appreciate a soft and stable mouthpiece

• young or less experienced horses needing additional lateral support
• horses with a low palate sensitive to the nutcracker effect of single-jointed bits

Care & Use
After each session, rinse the bit with lukewarm water and dry it with a soft cloth. Over time, the sweet iron will develop a light patina—a natural oxidation process that enhances taste and acceptance. Store it in a dry place and regularly check for even wear.
