Neue Schule’s latest innovative design, the Turtle Tactio™ with Flex™
was launched in January and has now hit the shelves of approved stockists.
The bit has been eagerly awaited since its launch at BETA International 2016 in
January where it was recognised as Highly Commended in the Innovation Awards.
It is specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive
tongue. It often negates the need to shut the mouth. This bold TongueSMARTTM
design focuses rein pressure to the central part of the tongue whilst diverting
pressure away from the sensitive regions near the bars. The unique central
‘Turtle’ link brings the proximal ends of the cannons to their closest
separation possible. The FlexT TM concept of widening the
surfaces that lie parallel to the plane of the tongue reduces the pressure
further. With any kind of noseband the closed mouth easily accommodates the
mouthpiece whose effective thickness in the region of the interdental space is
the smallest in the Neue Schule range. Reward horses that want to work
with the rider.
The Turtle Tactio is available in various cheek designs including the Loose
Ring, the Universal, the Balding and the Beval with further designs to follow
later in the year.
Neue Schule CEO Sarfraz Mian said: “The Research and Development activity
undertaken by Neue Schule has resulted in wonderful insight being gained into
the interface of the bit with the horse’s anatomy. Armed with this unique
knowledge our designers have been able to apply the Neue Schule philosophy of
delivering comfort to the horse to develop the amazing Turtle Tactio™ design
that represents the culmination of all of our efforts. We are delighted with
the feedback that we have been receiving from our ambassador riders and hugely
enthusiastic about being able to deliver this very exceptional product to our
customers around the world.”
