About the Bit
Is your horse inconsistent in the contact, chomping or chewing on the bit or tossing its head? Are you needing a bridoon which gives your horse some tongue relief but can be paired with a Weymouth?
The Turtle Top is here to answer your prayers!
The Turtle Top which is inspired by the shell of the box turtle, prevents downward pressure to the horse’s tongue encouraging the horse to accept the bit and take the contact forward. The Turtle Top link is also flattened to lower pallet pressure and restricts the movement in mouthpiece, keeping it still and steady in the horse’s mouth.

How it should fit
The Turtle Top 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 Top Snaffle
Love it! My mare is normally very busy in mouth and avoids contact but she loves this one. I'll buy more for my other horses now.

NS Turtle Top Snaffle Bit
A kind bit that is sensibly priced. It is also approved by Equestrian Australia for Dressage, so that is an important factor. Delivered to Western Australia very quickly (within 2 days) by BitBank.
