Velari Leather Snaffle Loose Ring
Introducing the Velari Leather Snaffle, a beautifully crafted bit designed to foster a soft, responsive connection between horse and rider. This exceptional combination of a loose ring and a leather straight bar mouthpiece is ideal for discerning riders seeking to encourage suppleness, relaxation, and consistent contact, particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive mouths or those needing to develop greater trust in the bridle.
The loose ring design of this snaffle allows the mouthpiece to move freely, encouraging light chewing activity and helping your horse stay flexible and attentive in the hand. This inherent mobility supports precise rein aids, ensuring the connection remains soft and responsive throughout your ride, promoting a fluid communication channel.
Crafted from premium leather, the mouthpiece offers unparalleled comfort. As your horse chews and salivates, the leather gradually softens, conforming to their mouth. The natural taste of the leather encourages salivation, inviting your horse to remain supple and relaxed. Its flexible nature makes this bit a superb choice for horses with sensitive mouths, providing a gentle and inviting contact point.
Remember to regularly care for the leather with olive or sunflower oil, inspecting it often for wear, and always ensure the stitching faces forward when fitting.
The straight bar mouthpiece provides a stable yet adaptable feel, lying evenly across the tongue and bars to promote consistent contact while preserving comfort. Without any joints, it eliminates the risk of pinching or uneven pressure, empowering your horse to confidently take the bit forward.
Ideal for:
- Horses with sensitive mouths
- Encouraging suppleness and relaxation
- Promoting consistent, soft contact
- Developing trust in the bridle
- Riders seeking a refined, gentle connection
- All disciplines, from schooling to leisure riding
Care & 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.
