The Neue Schule Turtle Tactio with Flex bit is expertly designed to cater to horses with larger or more sensitive tongues, often eliminating the need for a tight noseband to keep the mouth shut. This innovative bit focuses on providing comfort while improving communication between horse and rider, making it ideal for horses that are prone to tongue sensitivity or evasions.

What sets the Turtle Tactio apart is its TongueSMART design, which concentrates rein pressure on the central part of the tongue, relieving pressure from the more sensitive areas near the bars. This smart pressure distribution encourages the horse to relax and accept the bit, reducing resistance and promoting a more willing partnership between horse and rider. The unique Turtle link, positioned centrally, allows the cannons to come as close as possible, offering stability and precise contact with the horse's mouth.

The Flex concept plays a crucial role in reducing tongue pressure by widening the surfaces that lie parallel to the tongue. This helps to further lower the pressure on sensitive areas, providing a more comfortable fit for the horse. The bit's effective thickness in the interdental space is the smallest in Neue Schule's range, allowing for a better fit and making it easier for horses to accommodate the bit, even with a closed mouth or a light noseband.

The Flex Loose Ring cheekpiece design enhances flexibility and movement, ensuring the bit remains stable in the horse's mouth while allowing for gentle, refined communication. This design works well for horses that tend to resist traditional bits, encouraging them to work with the rider rather than against them.

By rewarding horses that are willing to engage with the rider, the Turtle Tactio with Flex promotes soft, consistent contact, making it a popular choice for horses that require a bit more tongue relief. Whether you're working with a sensitive horse or one that tends to resist the bit, the Turtle Tactio with Flex provides a comfortable and effective solution for achieving harmony between horse and rider.
