Neue Schule Turtle Top Full Cheek
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. The full cheek reinforces the turning aid promoting straightness and directional control.Particularly useful for the young horse in order to establish the bend etc.Also highly recommended for the novice rider who may not fully support their inside rein as the full cheek will stabilise the mouthpiece therefore not allowing it to slide across the mouth (provided it fits!). This innovation is brilliant for the over-active busy mouth that chomps and chews on the mouthpiece.Turtle Top 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.
