Double Joint Olive Bit, Stainless Steel | Velari

Key Features

·       Double-jointed mouthpiece for even pressure distribution on the tongue and bars

·       Sweet iron encourages natural salivation and relaxation

·       Eggbutt rings offer stability, discretion, and consistent rein aids.

Description
This bit rests gently in the horse's mouth, offering a stable and attentive feel from the first contact. Its double-jointed design distributes pressure evenly and provides soft communication between rider and horse, while the eggbutt rings keep the bit quiet and consistent in the mouth. This promotes reliable bit acceptance and a stable connection, without unnecessary movement or complexity.

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

The double-jointed mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, avoiding the nutcracker effect and providing 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 low palates, as the double joint reduces movement towards the palate, providing extra comfort. 

With eggbutt rings, the mouthpiece remains more stable in the horse's mouth, preventing excessive lateral movement and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners. This stability suits horses that appreciate a more discreet bit, helping them stay confident in the contact. The fixed rings offer consistent and reliable rein aids, contributing to a soft yet secure connection throughout the session.

Ideal for

-            horses that appreciate a soft and stable mouthpiece

-            horses with a lower palate and sensitive to the nutcracker effect of single-jointed bits

-            riders seeking precision and a regular, discreet connection, without tension

Care & Use
After each session, rinse the bit with warm water and then dry it with a soft cloth. Over time, 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.
