Expert opinion : This bit was specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. The Universal cheek provides a number of rein options including the option of a curb strap. But whatever option you choose, the flattened underside of the cannons with their anatomy-inspired recesses are held parallel to the tongue whatever riding activity you enjoy. This bit encourages the horse to round over the bit and lift through the shoulder, and reduces pressure over the sensitive outer edges of the tongue and bars. It also promotes comfort and contact, discourages fixing and blocking. Prefect to encourage a true and correct outline with optional extra control.

Salox Gold : This material possesses a high thermal conductivity. This means that the bit will warm to mouth temperature quickly and become ‘neutral’ to the horse, meaning that they are less likely to inwardly fixate on the mouthpiece and instead will be receptive to all the rider’s aids. Occasionally, the horse’s bit may come into contact with the teeth- namely the incisors (as we put the bit in) and the premolars. In this case, care must be taken to ensure that there is no discomfort or damage to the tooth itself. Salox Gold differs from standard stainless steel and other copper alloy bits in that it is a slightly softer metal, allowing it to safely absorb impact forces whilst protecting tooth enamel. This can make the mouthpiece easier to accept by the horse. Neue Schule aims to keep the bit comfortable but neutral in the horse’s mouth. The horse should not inwardly fixate on the bit, but instead be receptive to all our aids. The addition of aluminium which forms a protective insoluble alumina coating solves the issue. It is also self-healing : if the horse bites into the bit the insoluble surface oxide quickly re-forms to re-trap the ions.
