Specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. Often negates the need to shut the mouth.
An innovative lightweight, elegant cheek design very popular in the show ring incorporating the Turtle Tactio with Flex mouthpiece. This Pelham is designed to be comfortable promoting a rounder outline whilst also encouraging more freedom through the shoulder. Often sourced for control and self-carriage, this Pelham usually gives more feel and response as opposed to a standard solid mouthpiece that often results in fixing and blocking, culminating in a ‘wooden’ feel.
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 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.
The Balding cheek offers consistent rein aids on the poll that provide control and encourage lift. Particularly helps against leaning or snatching. No matter what your rein tension the mouthpiece alignment to the mouth remains unchanged. 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 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.
The play from the loose ring minimises the chance of the horse gaining any purchase on the mouthpiece and discourages the horse from leaning. The two rein options allow the rider to differentiate between the snaffle action and the poll action. Often sourced for use with strong horses when extra control is needed.

The full cheek offers directional support when turning, ideal for those tricky technical fences such as ‘skinnies’ and corners. The two rein options allow the rider to differentiate between the snaffle action and the poll action. Often sourced for use with strong horses when extra control is needed.
A modern, versatile cheek design with four different rein options plus a curb option. This enables the rider to achieve their objective as various ways of going may be encouraged.
Speed Control – Amplifies the rein aids for a downward transition.
Poll Relief – Highly recommended for horses with poll sensitivity.
Outline – Helps the rider establish a correct outline and self-carriage.
Turning – Reinforces the rein aids for tight turns and straightness.
This clever combination of cheek and mild mouthpiece allows the rider to reward instantly once the horse has responded to the rein aid.
The Turtle Tactio mouthpiece has been designed to benefit those horses with large or sensitive tongues and also reduces bar pressure. It is one of the few, very mild mouthpieces that also enhances the feel and response through the rein. Extremely useful for those horses who are ‘wooden’ to the rein aids.
This revolutionary design delivers the comfort of a fat bit, whilst taking up very little room in the mouth. Created in response to recent research which has shown that there is not as much space in the mouth as previously thought.

Specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. Often negates the need to shut the mouth.
The Balding cheek offers consistent poll pressure and a cushioned headpiece is advised. This design is sourced when extra control is necessary. It is also useful for horses that are heavy, lean, or snatch.
Specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. Often negates the need to shut the mouth.
This combination of Baucher cheek and Turtle Tactio mouthpiece usually helps the rider to achieve and maintain a rounder and more correct outline. If your horse is constantly resisting, strung out or coming above the bit the usual response to the Turtle Tactio Baucher is a head lowering action and softer feel through the rein. This design often proves beneficial for the over sensitive mouth. Highly recommended where help is needed for straightness and bend.
Please keep in mind that you may need shorter cheek pieces with this bit, in order to keep the buckles positioned in the correct place on the horses head.
Specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. Often negates the need to shut the mouth.
This design also adds stability often proving a confidence giver leading toward a more consistent contact. The Eggbutt reinforces the straightening and turning aids. 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 Eggbutt will not allow the mouthpiece to slide across the mouth to the inside.

This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent contact. By combining this mouthpiece with a D-Ring it enhances directional control making it exceptionally good for tight turns during faster work as the mouthpiece should not slide across the mouth. It’s also good for dressage as it gives the rider greater shoulder control on a circle and helps set up the bend when changing the rein or with lateral work. The stability the D-Ring offers along with the clever design of the mouthpiece is often useful for horses that are overactive in the mouth in a loose ring design.
