Pessoa Gag 2.5-Ring Single Joint Cherry Roller Sweet Iron | Velari

Combining precision and gentleness, this Velari sweet iron bit with cherry roller mouthpiece and 2.5 ring is designed for horses that tend to lean or evade the hand. It is for riders who wish to restore fluid and serene communication without sacrificing control.

2.5 Ring

The 2.5 ring model combines a leverage action with a subtle and progressive lightening effect. The point of rein attachment determines the intensity of the aid: when attached to the lower ring, they activate a short lever as soon as the rider takes up the reins. This modularity allows the bit's response to be finely adapted to the horse and situation, offering a nuanced and effective range of aids.

Mouthpiece Material

The mouthpiece is made of sweet iron, a material that naturally oxidizes on contact with saliva and air. This process encourages the horse to salivate more, inviting it to remain relaxed and soft in the mouth. The result is a softer contact, a released jaw, and an overall calmer and more confident way of going — a valuable foundation for any light work.

Mouthpiece Shape

The cherry roller features mobile cylinders that discourage the horse from leaning on or grabbing the bit. Simultaneously, these rollers stimulate tongue activity, amplify saliva production, and promote jaw relaxation. This mouthpiece is particularly suitable for horses that are strong in the hand, prone to grabbing the bit, or struggle to maintain concentration during work.

Ideal for:

- Horses that are strong in the hand or tend to lean on the bit

- Horses that try to grab or block the bit

- Horses with an active mind, needing mouth occupation to stay focused

- Horses with sensitive mouths, benefiting from a material that encourages salivation and relaxation

- Intermediate to advanced riders, comfortable with adjustable leverage action

- Riders looking for a versatile tool, suitable for show jumping, dressage, or outdoor work

Care and Use

After each use, rinse the bit with lukewarm water and dry it with a soft cloth. Store it in a dry place and regularly check for even and regular wear. Be sure to place it correctly in the horse's mouth: the star should be on the left side and the Velari logo on the right side.
