Neue Schule Turtle Top Balding Bit

The Balding cheek is designed to provide consistent rein aids on the poll, promoting control and encouraging lift. It is especially effective against leaning or snatching. Regardless of rein tension, the mouthpiece remains aligned to the mouth, thanks to its flattened underside and anatomically-inspired recesses. This innovative design is perfect for horses with over-active, busy mouths that tend to chomp and chew on the bit. The Turtle Top with Flex keeps the mouthpiece centered and arched over the tongue, preventing sideways tongue evasions. This comfortable mouthpiece helps to refocus an inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids, resulting in a soft and consistent contact. The loose ring design reduces the chances of the horse gaining purchase on the bit and discourages leaning. With two rein options, the rider can differentiate between snaffle and poll action, making it a popular choice for strong horses in need of extra control.
