Neue Schule Turtle Top Tactio Loose Ring Bit

The Neue Schule Turtle Top Tactio Loose Ring bit is designed to accommodate a horse with a larger tongue or more sensitive bars. The Tactio mouthpiece focuses rein pressure to the center of the tongue, rather than more sensitive areas near the bars of the mouth. The arms of the bit are wider and flatter, achieving the same softness and pressure distribution of a much thicker mouthpiece while reducing bulk in the horse’s mouth.

The loose ring cheekpiece is an ideal choice for a horse with an overactive, busy mouth that chomps and chews on the mouthpiece. No matter what your rein tension, the mouthpiece remains unchanged and aligned with the horse’s mouth. The Turtle Top mouthpiece remains centered and arched over the tongue at all times, safely helping to prevent sideways tongue evasions. This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses an inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft, consistent contact.
