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

Made from a firm, non-toxic synthetic material, the mouthpiece remains smooth and secure while offering excellent precision in the 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 mouthpiece that provides stability and a clear contact. The mouthpiece retains its shape under pressure, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean or become heavy with softer bits. Its straight construction distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, offering consistent, well-defined signals without the harshness of metal.

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 of the mouth. This stability is suitable for horses that prefer a calmer bit and helps them maintain confidence in the contact. The fixed rings ensure consistent and reliable rein aids, for a smooth yet secure connection throughout the session.

Ideal for

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