Double Joint Olive Bit, Stainless Steel | Velari

Key Features

·       Single-jointed mouthpiece for clear and direct pressure

·       Sweet Iron encourages natural salivation and relaxation

·       Loose rings offer improved mobility as well as clear and precise rein aids

Description
This bit rests gently in the horse's mouth, offering a direct and attentive feel from the very first contact. Its single-jointed design ensures clear communication between rider and horse, promoting consistent acceptance of the bit and a stable connection, without excessive complexity.

Made of Sweet Iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes with use, which stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to remain soft and responsive in the mouth. This contributes to a softer contact and a calmer, more confident attitude.

The single-jointed mouthpiece creates a more direct and clearer connection, transmitting hand actions with precision. When the reins are tightened, the joint forms a V shape that distributes pressure over the tongue and bars. This design is suitable for horses with a higher palate, as the single joint sits cleanly in the center of the mouth without exerting excessive pressure on the palate. Many horses appreciate the clear and uncomplicated feel of a single-jointed bit, especially those who prefer a well-defined point of action and stable contact.

With loose rings, the mouthpiece can move freely, promoting 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 and responsive connection.

Ideal for

• horses who appreciate a simple and direct mouthpiece
• horses with a higher palate who prefer a bit with a clear point of action
• riders seeking precision and a direct connection without tension

Care & Use
After each use, rinse the bit with warm water and then dry it with a soft cloth. Over time, the Sweet Iron will develop a slight patina — a natural oxidation process that improves taste and acceptance. Store it in a dry place and regularly check for even wear.
Ensure the bit is correctly positioned: the star should be on the left and the Velari logo on the right.
