Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
Neue Schule Bits were designed specifically to help the horse and rider communicate better. Their holistic approach represents a "new school" in bit design that focuses on using the best materials to aid equine comfort while crafting bits that properly fits the horse's mouth.
The Neue Schule Team Up Loose Ring Bit offers a style similar to a French Link yet modernized for equine comfort. The double joint allows this bit to be flexible and allows the reins to move independently compared to single-jointed snaffles. Ergonomically designed, the lozenge of this mouthpiece shares tongue contact with adjacent loops to provide a smoother, more even feel.
Unique to Neue Schule Bits is the material they are made from, which is known as Salox® Gold. This particular material works rapidly to reach the horse's mouth temperature so that the bit feels more natural while the softer metal prevents damage to the horse's teeth but still remains extremely tough and durable. Finished with the addition of aluminum to prevent the bit from having any distracting taste or smell, the Neue Schule Bits are an excellent addition for any rider looking to improve communication between themselves and their equine partner.
