Velari Single-Jointed Full Cheek Elevator Snaffle Sweet Iron 16mm

The Velari Single-Jointed Curb-Gag Bit Sweet Iron combines lateral guidance with a mild uplifting action. Thanks to the combination of curb pieces and gag rings, this bit supports horses that need extra balance, straightness or lightness in the hand. It helps the horse lift more from the shoulders while the contact remains soft and controlled.

The single-jointed mouthpiece provides a direct and clear effect, with the rein aids being transmitted distinctly. When contact is taken the joint forms a V-shape that distributes pressure over the tongue and bars. This design is often appreciated by horses that prefer a stable and clear contact point, and can be particularly suitable for horses with a higher palate.

The mouthpiece is made of sweet iron, a material that naturally oxidises during use. This stimulates saliva production and encourages the horse to accept the bit in a relaxed way. The increased salivation helps achieve a smoother connection and contributes to a calm, confident way of going.

The curb pieces provide additional lateral support and help the horse steer better and stay straight, especially during turns or with young horses. The gag action is created by the cheekpieces running through the upper rings, producing a gentle upward pressure on the poll when the reins are engaged. This supports horses that tend to lean on the forehand and helps create more lightness and balance.
