BRAND NEW : THE TURTLE TOP HAS ARRIVED !!!!
Turtle Top™ with Flex
Anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece
stability, through optimised alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the
tongue and palate.
The Turtle Top™ link shape takes inspiration from the shell of the
Box turtle. This flattened dome shaped link lowers palate pressure and
prevents the cannons from being pushed upwards above the link by the
horse’s tongue.
The Neue Schule Flex design concept delivers a guaranteed and well
controlled co-alignment of the surfaces of the mouthpiece with the
sensitive surfaces of the equine mouth. For most designs Flex delivers
parallel co-alignment of the Turtle Top™ dome with the equine palate.
In selected designs we allow Flex to deliver some firm but fair
additional pressure to the tongue and poll using a lever action-induced
rotation of the mouthpiece. The extra pressure obtainable is carefully
restricted with Flex limiting the range of additional rotation to around
10 degrees.
FlexZ
FlexZ is a development of our popular Tranz range (hence
the “Z”). Gently curved cannons form a wide arch aligned over the tongue
and held in shape by Turtle Top™. FlexZ is therefore more securely centred on the tongue and more resistant to being pulled through the mouth.
FlexZ Universal
The Universal cheek provides a number of rein options including the
option of a curb strap. But whatever option you choose, the flattened
underside of the FlexZ cannons with their anatomy-inspired recesses are held parallel to the tongue whatever riding activity you enjoy.
This innovation is brilliant for the over-active busy mouth that chomps and chews on the mouthpiece. Turtle TopTM
with Flex keeps the mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at
all times, safely helping to prevent sideways tongue evasions. This
comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the
rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent contact.
