This innovative combination provides clear communication while nurturing a soft, accepting mouth, making it ideal for riders seeking an empathetic yet effective aid. As the rider takes up the reins, the bit slides gently upward within the mouth, creating a subtle pressure at the corners of the mouth and behind the poll. The inherent freedom of movement afforded by the loose rings further allows the horse to comfortably accept the bit and establish a supple, relaxed contact. Crafted from premium leather, the mouthpiece offers unparalleled comfort. The natural taste of the leather promotes salivation, inviting your horse to remain supple and relaxed through the jaw. Remember to nurture this natural material with regular care; olive oil or sunflower oil treatments will keep it supple, and always ensure the stitching faces forward when fitting. The single-jointed mouthpiece provides direct, clear communication between horse and rider. When the rein is engaged, the joint forms a V-shape, distributing pressure across the bars of the mouth while relieving the tongue at its center. This design is particularly well-suited for horses with a higher palate. Many horses appreciate the straightforward, uncomplicated feel of a single joint, especially those who thrive on a defined point of action and a consistent, predictable contact. Ideal for: - Horses that need gentle encouragement for correct carriage - Horses with sensitive mouths - Horses with a higher palate - Horses that prefer a clear, direct action - Riders seeking an empathetic and effective communication tool - Riders who prioritize a soft, supple contact Care \u0026amp; Use Rinse the bit with lukewarm water after every ride and dry it with a soft cloth. To keep the leather in optimal condition, treat it regularly with olive oil or sunflower oil and inspect it for signs of wear. Store the bit in a dry place. Make sure the bit is fitted correctly: the star should be on the left-hand side and the Velari logo on the right-hand side. Disclaimer Every horse and rider is unique. The information provided is meant as a general guide — not a definitive answer. Always consider your horse's specific needs and your own experience when choosing the right bit.
