Description
The Velari Flex Loose Ring Snaffle Hard 20 mm offers a firmer feel for horses that benefit from a more defined rein connection. It supports clearer aids and can help reduce leaning without resorting to metal. While firmer than the Soft and Medium versions, the bit maintains a smooth, rounded surface to avoid unnecessary pressure points.

Constructed from a firm, non-toxic synthetic material, the surface remains smooth and safe while offering maximum clarity of aid. The material is free of harmful substances and suitable for long-term use. While firmer than the Soft and Medium options, it still avoids the coldness and unforgiving feel of traditional metal bits, making it a considered choice for riders needing more defined communication.

This bit features a firm, straight bar design that offers stability and clear contact. The mouthpiece maintains its shape under pressure, making it ideal for horses that tend to lean or become heavy in softer bits. Its straight structure evenly distributes pressure across the bars and tongue, providing consistent, well-defined signals without the sharpness of metal.

With loose rings, the mouthpiece is allowed to move freely, promoting light chewing activity and helping the horse stay flexible and attentive in the hand. This increased mobility supports precise rein aids and keeps the connection soft and responsive throughout the ride.

• Horses that lean or become heavy in the hand

• Advanced schooling, jumping, or cross-training disciplines
