About the Bit
Is your sensitive or fussy in the contact? Does your horse have a large tongue and sensitive bars? Or do you have a horse with a small mouth and very little room for a bit?
The Neue Schule Turtle Tactio has been designed for all of the above.
The Turtle Tactio mouthpiece has a locking link and unique shape which allows the bit to almost float in the horse’s mouth giving room for the tongue and restricting pressure to the horse’s bars.

A loose ring offers an instant release from pressure giving the horse an instant reward for being in the correct position.

How it should fit
The Turtle Tactio snaffle should fit fairly snug with only 2-5mm gap between the lip and the ring. The Neue Schule bits are made with a deep bevel making it almost impossible for the ring and mouthpiece to pinch the horses lips.

Neue Schule Turtle Tactio loose ring bit
I have purchased three Turtle Tactio bits. They are really great for horses with sensitive bars that also resent tongue pressure. A really soft bit for young horses or horses that resist the bit. Highly recommended!

Instant love
We had a professional bit fit because I felt his current bit was not quite right for where we now were with our partnership. This was the first of three bits tried. Instant love for my pony! Hard no for the others. He settled nicely into the contact and lifted up in front rather than his usual curling from bit contact.

Wonderful bit
The results were instant when we tried this bit during our bit fitting session, I purchased it straight away! My horse has sensitive bars and the shape and design of this bit and how it sits in his mouth is as if it was tailored just for him. Highly recommend!

Once again, Charmae found me the perfect bit for my sensitive horse. I even use it on my other horses and they all love it. Thanks to it’s special shape, it releases pressure on the bars and horses can only be more happier. A must have in your tack room!!!

This bit made a huge difference to my young horse, who was inconsistent in the contact and needed to relax into a steady rhythm. Big thumbs up on all counts! Should fit snugly so would definitely recommend measuring first be sure of the right size.
