It encourages chewing and relaxation while supporting a steady connection.

Its smooth finish protects delicate oral tissue while the inner flex core gives just enough movement to adapt with the horse’s mouth. Horses that dislike rigid or metal bits often respond with greater relaxation and salivation to this material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eVelari Eggbutt Flex Soft\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bit features a flexible, straight bar mouthpiece that gently contours to the shape of the horse’s mouth without creating the nutcracker action found in jointed bits.
