It sits comfortably in the horse's mouth and provides a direct, responsive connection — without unnecessary complexity.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe mouthpiece is made from sweet iron, which oxidises naturally with use. This natural process encourages salivation and invites the horse to remain soft and relaxed in the mouth, contributing to a more supple contact and a calmer, more confident way of going.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe cherry roller features loose rollers that discourage the horse from fixing or grabbing the bit. At the same time, the rollers increase tongue activity, further stimulate salivation and help relax the jaw. This makes the bit particularly well-suited to horses that are strong in the mouth, tend to clamp down on the bit, or struggle to focus.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe single-jointed mouthpiece provides direct, clear communication between rider and horse. When the rider takes up the contact, the joint creates a gentle V-shape that distributes pressure across the bars and relieves the tongue at its centre. This mouthpiece suits horses with a higher palate well. Many horses appreciate the clear, uncomplicated feel of a single joint — especially those that prefer a defined point of action and a stable, consistent contact.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe eggbutt cheeks provide clear lateral support, allowing the horse to understand the rider's aids with calm and clarity. It is an excellent choice for young or inexperienced horses, as the fixed cheeks offer gentle, reliable guidance. The fixed sides stabilise the mouthpiece, encourage soft chewing activity and promote a confident acceptance of the contact. This stability supports precise rein aids and a smooth, consistent connection throughout the ride.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIdeal for\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHorses that appreciate a simple, direct mouthpiece\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHorses with a higher palate that prefer a clearly defined point of action\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHorses that are strong in the mouth or tend to grab the bit\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRiders seeking precision and a direct, relaxed connection\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eType: Eggbutt snaffle\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMouthpiece: Single-jointed with cherry roller\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eThickness: 16 mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e•\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMaterial: Sweet iron (nickel-free)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eCare \u0026amp; Use\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRinse the bit with warm water after every ride and dry it with a soft cloth. Over time, sweet iron develops a light patina — a natural oxidation process that improves flavour and acceptance. Store in a dry place and check regularly for even wear. Ensure the bit is fitted correctly: the star should be on the left side and the Velari logo on the right.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEvery horse and rider is unique.
