Expert opinion : The TRANZ ANGLED LOZENGE butterfly bit is an anatomically designed, comfortable and versatile double-barrel bit. The ergonomics of the rings of the central break allows for increased communication during contact. It contributes to the horse's breathing. The butterfly legs offer different installation possibilities to increase or decrease the leverage. It is recommended to use it on horses that do not have a particular sensitivity on the neck. It is mainly suitable for powerful horses with delicate control. The butterfly bit is particularly suitable for show jumping. It increases the rider's control over the horse, especially in tight curves. The many possible combinations depending on the choice of rein placement produce very different effects:
- Reins on the central ring: the action of the bit is similar to that of a Baucher snaffle. The main action is on the horse's mouth while the pressure on the neck is very light.
- Reins on the bottom ring: the leverage is stronger. Thus the bit is similar to a three-ring snaffle, but the pressure is distributed equally over the horse's mouth and neck.
- A medium impact is achieved by the use of the rings which are attached to the middle and bottom rings.
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.
