Eggbutt tongue port Flex

The Velari Eggbut Flex Hard with 20 mm tongue relief offers a more direct feel for horses that benefit from a clearer connection to the rider's hand. It supports precise aids and can help the horse lean less on the bit – entirely without metal. Although this variant is firmer than the Soft and Medium versions, the surface remains smooth and rounded, avoiding unnecessary pressure points. The mouthpiece is made of a firm, non-toxic plastic with a smooth and safe surface that enables precise aids. The material is free from harmful substances and suitable for long-term use. Despite its higher firmness it avoids the cold and hard feel of a conventional metal bit and is therefore an excellent choice for riders who want more precise communication. This bit has a firm tongue relief that provides stability, supports even contact and reduces pressure on the tongue. The mouthpiece retains its shape even under rein action and is therefore particularly suitable for horses that brace on softer bits or become heavy in the hand. Pressure is distributed evenly on the bars. The tongue relief creates additional room for the tongue and shifts pressure from the centre of the tongue to the bars. This makes this bit particularly suitable for horses that react sensitively to tongue pressure or tend to stick the tongue out. The eggbutt sides ensure that the mouthpiece lies more quietly and stably in the horse's mouth. Lateral movements are limited and the risk of pinching the corners of the mouth is reduced. This stability supports a quiet contact and is particularly suitable for horses that prefer a quietly lying bit. The fixed rings enable a constant and reliable rein aid and promote a soft yet secure connection between rider and horse.
