Velari Snaffle Flex Loose Ring Soft
The Velari Snaffle Flex Loose Ring Soft is made for horses that do best with a gentle, flexible mouthpiece. Its soft synthetic coating and inner flex core create a kind, yielding feel that encourages chewing, relaxation, and a steady connection. The smooth, non-toxic outer layer is safe for everyday use and protects delicate mouth tissue, while the straight bar design avoids the nutcracker effect of jointed bits. At 20mm thick, it spreads pressure evenly across the bars and tongue, making it especially comfortable for sensitive horses. The loose rings let the bit move freely, promoting light chewing, responsiveness, and a soft, mobile connection throughout the ride.
Ideal for
Horses with sensitive mouths
Young horses learning to accept the bit
Riders prioritising gentle, low-pressure aids
Velari Snaffle Flex Loose Ring Medium
The Velari Flex Loose Ring Snaffle Medium features a medium-firm synthetic coating for enhanced stability, a straight bar mouthpiece for comfort and clear feedback, and safe, non-toxic materials suitable for regular use. Designed for horses in consistent training, it offers stable, moderate contact with slightly more firmness than the soft version, ensuring defined communication without compromising comfort. The non-toxic synthetic construction with a flexible core follows natural jaw movement, encouraging active chewing and relaxation. The 20mm straight bar mouthpiece distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, avoiding pinching or uneven pressure, while loose rings promote natural movement, light chewing, and a soft, responsive connection throughout the ride.

Built for durability and long-term performance, it retains its shape under pressure, offering stability and precision in communication. The loose rings promote free movement of the mouthpiece, encouraging light chewing, flexibility, and responsiveness, achieving an optimal balance between feel and freedom for both horse and rider.
