Neue Schule Bits
Neue Schule Collection offers a range of mouthpieces in a variety of thicknesses and is suitable for every discipline at all levels. The bits are made from a unique special metal which heats up within seconds of being placed into the horse's mouth and maintains blood temperature. This warmer, sweeter metal accelerates the acceptance of the bit and the horse is therefore able to quickly start to focus on the action of the bit.
The smoothly contoured mouthpieces create a channel for the tongue to lie in causing the horse to soften and relax through the jaw. This then greatly emphasises the signals through the rein. It allows one to lighten the forehand, lifting the shoulder thus promoting self carriage and the 'throughness' needed for sustained advanced movements. It also enhances the bend for lateral work and voltes, etc.
The Range of Neue Schule Mouthpieces
Tranz Ergonomically designed for both comfort and communication. It encourages a true contact and higher level of responsiveness. The patented lozenge is set on at a unique 20 degrees angle activating more feel over the tongue, so when a contact is taken, the rounded lozenge rolls down contouring smoothly over the tongue's thicker less sensitive centre (the sweet spot), utilizing feel enabling clearly defined aids to be given through the reins. The lozenge takes up less room in the mouth and does not interfere with the palate.
Demi-Anky Although single jointed the Demi-Anky is curved and shaped very cleverly. It curves slightly away from the lip so as not to squash it in, and it is curved subtly down towards the bar thus giving an even weight bearing surface across the bars, it also bends down toward the central joint so that when a contact is taken it forms a long low shape over the tongue offering tongue relief. This design has been found to be vey beneficial for horses that back off or only offer an intermittent contact.
Starter Promotes mouthing and acceptance. Good for lungeing, long-reining and schooling. A gentle bit ith tongue relief that encourages the horse to stretch the topline seeking forward and down into a soft consistent contact.
Team Up Ergonomically curved to encompass the tongue and align itself underneath the upper palate, giving very gentle weight distribution. Alleviates mouth over activity and tongue evasions. It encourages the horse to soften through the jaw, relaxing and lengthening the neck. Beneficial for the short tense neck without causing the horse to lean. Reinforces the turning aid.
Verbindend Greatly emphasises the signals through the rein. It allows one to lighten the forehand, lifting the shoulder thus promoting self carriage and the 'throughness' needed for sustained advanced movements. The verbindend eradicates tongue evasions by creating a channel for the tongue to lie in, causing the horse to soften and relax through the jaw. Also enhances the bend for lateral work and voltes, etc.
Slimma A very unobtrusive design that sits well back in the mouth over the thicker, less sensitive part of the tongue. The Slimma is anatomically designed to take up very little room in the mouth bridging the tongue and contouring snugly under the upper palate leaving much more space for the bridoon - hence a fatter bridoon is an option that may benefit a horse that is tentative into the contact.
Dressage Warmblood The forward cut port is very cleverly designed giving generous tongue relief without causing upper palate interference. It is extremely popular with the large tongued KWPN, Hanovarians, etc. This design has often proven the panacea to many long term tongue evasions.
Waterford Designed to give you control whilst eradicating the fighting and pulling that often causes damage and subsequently a hard mouth. The new design incorporates slimmer, smoother, more clearly defined links. The outermost links in the chain provide an ergonomic shelf for the lips to rest on eradicating the previously commonly experienced problem of rubs.
