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 Verbindend Loose Ring Bit in 12mm is a cleverly curved mouthpiece that was designed to eradicate tongue evasion and encourage the horse to soften and relax through the jaw. This ergonomic bit also enhanced the development of bend for lateral work and smaller circles. Crafted to be dressage legal, this bit is ideal for the pleasure horse to the well-schooled dressage horse.
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.

Previous Feedback
Comments: I was initially skeptical of ordering this bit because it is VERY bent/shaped, and also very thin at 12mm. BUT...my guy is having difficulty bending, and can get very stiff in his jaw and regularly grinds the bit. Although he is getting better with specific exercises given to my by my instructor (he has been vetted, has dental work done every 6 months, has regular bodywork, and he is mentally and physically sound and fit), I wanted to see if changing out his bit could help as well (I have previously ridden him in a nice well-fitting KK Ultra), plus, the description on the web sounded like this one was virtually made for him. Yesterday was day one, and it performed exactly as described online. Immediately, the grinding was decreased by about 60-70%, and he was instantly lighter, more flexible, and happier in his work. I am extremely impressed, and never would have believed that such a large difference could be achieved so quickly with this bit.
