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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the Turtle Tactio apart is its \u003cstrong\u003eTongueSMART\u003c\/strong\u003e 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 \u003cstrong\u003eTurtle\u003c\/strong\u003e link, positioned centrally, allows the cannons to come as close as possible, offering stability and precise contact with the horse's mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFlex\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlex\u003csup\u003eT\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eEggbutt\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes: Small (4.5\"-5\" or 118-128mm), Medium (5\"-5.5\" or 128-138mm), Large (5.5\"-6\" or 138-148mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMouthpiece: 16mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlease Note: Stock availability varies, we do our best to keep our stock levels accurate for Neue Schule bits.
