Neue Schule Turtle Top Bridoon Bit
Neue Schule Turtle Top Bridoon Bit
The Neue Schule Turtle Top Bridoon Bit is an innovative, anatomy-inspired double-jointed bit designed to enhance stability and communication between horse and rider. The bit’s Turtle Top link takes its shape from the shell of a Box turtle, featuring a flattened dome that helps lower palate pressure and prevent the cannons from being pushed upwards by the horse’s tongue. This unique design ensures that the bit remains comfortable and properly aligned in the horse’s mouth, making it a popular choice for riders seeking greater control and consistency in contact.
The Neue Schule Flex concept is a key feature of the Turtle Top Bridoon, ensuring the mouthpiece surfaces stay co-aligned with the horse’s sensitive tongue and palate. The Flex design delivers parallel alignment of the Turtle Top dome with the palate, providing stability and comfort. In certain designs, the Flex allows for a small amount of additional pressure on the tongue and poll, with a lever-induced rotation of the mouthpiece. This extra pressure, however, is carefully controlled and limited to around 10 degrees, making sure the horse is never overwhelmed or uncomfortable.
The FlexZ element of the Turtle Top Bridoon ensures that the gently curved cannons form a wide arch over the tongue, held securely in place by the Turtle Top link. This design helps to keep the bit centered on the tongue, preventing it from being pulled through the mouth, which is particularly helpful for horses that tend to evade sideways.
The Loose Ring cheekpiece adds further versatility to the bit. Regardless of rein tension, the mouthpiece remains stable and aligned, promoting consistent communication between horse and rider. The flattened underside of the cannons and the anatomy-inspired recesses ensure the bit stays parallel to the tongue during any riding activity, making it especially beneficial for horses with overactive, busy mouths that tend to chomp or chew on the bit.
The Neue Schule Turtle Top Bridoon Bit helps to focus the horse’s attention back onto the rein aids, promoting a soft, consistent contact for an improved riding experience.
