Description
The Velari Flex Loose Ring Snaffle Hard 20 mm offers a firmer feel for horses that benefit from a more defined rein connection. It promotes clearer aids and can help reduce leaning without resorting to a metal bit. While firmer than the Soft and Medium versions, this bit maintains a smooth, rounded surface to prevent unnecessary pressure points.

Made from a firm, non-toxic synthetic material, the barrel remains smooth and safe while providing precise aids. The material is free of harmful substances and suitable for long-term use. Despite its increased firmness, it avoids the cold, rigid feel of traditional metal bits, making it a thoughtful choice for riders seeking more precise communication.

This bit features a straight, firm barrel that offers stability and clear contact. The barrel maintains its shape under pressure, making it ideal for horses prone to leaning or becoming heavy with softer bits. Its straight structure distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, providing consistent and well-defined signals without the harshness of metal.

The loose rings allow the barrel to move freely, stimulating slight chewing activity and helping the horse remain supple and attentive in the hand. This increased mobility supports precise rein aids and maintains a soft, responsive connection throughout the work.

Ideal for

Horses that lean or become heavy in the hand
Experienced riders seeking precise rein response
Advanced work, show jumping, or cross-training
