Flex snaffle with loose rings as Baucher snaffle with

The Velari Flex loose-ring snaffle used as a gag with a soft port is a well-thought-out combination for horses that benefit from gentle encouragement of self-carriage and a softer, more willing contact. It is suitable for riders who value sensitivity and responsiveness – for those seeking a bit that works with the horse rather than against it and enables clear communication without harshness. The Flex loose-ring snaffle gives every contact a calm dynamic. When the rider takes up the reins the bit lifts gently in the mouth and creates light pressure at the corners of the mouth as well as a gentle signal behind the poll that invites the horse to find its balance and carry itself with greater ease. The movement of the loose rings encourages freedom and relaxation in the jaw and helps even more resistant horses to accept the contact willingly and find a softer, more rhythmic gait. This is a type of bit based on encouragement – asking rather than demanding. The mouthpiece made of Velari’s “Flex Soft” material gives every contact a soothing gentleness. The smooth, pollutant-free outer layer nestles gently against the sensitive mouth tissue, while the inner flex core offers just enough give to follow the natural movement of the horse’s mouth. Horses that have previously been reluctant towards metal or rigid bits often discover a new willingness here and respond with a relaxed jaw, increased salivation and the calm acceptance every rider wants. It is a material in whose selection sensitivity was at the centre and which was designed for confident, everyday use. The port increases the precision of this bit and offers a stable, clearly defined contact that horses that tend to lean or become heavy meet with greater respect. By creating additional space for the tongue and redistributing the pressure onto the tongue roots it relieves the sensitivity that causes some horses to resist, become restless or push their tongue over the bit. The mouthpiece retains its shape excellently under load and thus ensures that the rider always receives a consistent, reliable signal – sensitive, not rigid. Ideal for: Horses that resist metal or hard bits or only accept them reluctantly Horses with a sensitive tongue or a tendency to stick the tongue out Horses that lean or become heavy Horses that need to be encouraged towards self-carriage and the correct balance Riders with a balanced, educated hand who value subtle communication Advanced to experienced riders seeking a responsive, sensitive contact Care & use Rinse the bit with warm water after every ride and dry it with a soft cloth. Store in a dry place and check regularly for even wear. Make sure the bit is correctly positioned: the star must be on the left side and the Velari logo on the right side.
