Velari Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Sweet Iron 14 mm

This single-jointed eggbutt snaffle is designed for riders seeking a clear, stable and honest connection with their horse. The bit sits comfortably in the mouth and offers a calm, reliable feel from the very first contact, without unnecessary sharpness or instability.

The single-jointed mouthpiece provides direct transmission of the rein aids. When contact is taken, the bit forms a gentle V-shape, distributing pressure evenly over the tongue and bars. This creates a clearly defined point of contact, often appreciated by horses that prefer straightforward communication. The centrally positioned joint makes this bit particularly suitable for horses with a higher palate, as it avoids excessive pressure towards the roof of the mouth.

The mouthpiece is made from sweet iron, a material that naturally oxidises during use. This process stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to accept the bit softly and relaxed. Increased salivation supports a smoother contact and a calm, confident way of going.

The fixed rings of the eggbutt snaffle provide additional stability in the mouth. The bit remains quieter, reduces unwanted lateral movement and minimises the risk of pinching at the corners of the mouth. This stability supports consistent rein contact and helps the horse maintain confidence in the connection.

Care

Rinse with warm water after each ride and dry with a soft cloth. Sweet iron develops a light patina over time; this natural oxidation process enhances taste and acceptance. Store in a dry place and regularly check for wear.
