Description
The Velari Eggbut Flex 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 cannon 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 and rigid feel of traditional metal bits, making it a thoughtful choice for riders seeking more precise communication.

This bit features a straight, firm cannon that offers stability and clear contact. The cannon 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.

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

• Horses that lean or become heavy in the hand
