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.

Charmae's Comments -
The Turtle Tactio was awarded Highly Commended at BETA International Innovation Award 2016, the Judges explained what made them rate the product so highly: ‘We loved seeing a product where horse welfare and comfort are the paramount concerns – along with inspired innovation.’
Super happy with the fit, my horse loves the feel and goes softly into my hands. Bit bank were super helpful.
Hi Jennifer, we're thrilled to hear you're happy with the fit and your horse's response! Thanks for sharing your experience and for choosing Bit Bank Australia.
Hi
My pure Arab mare is going well in her new bit. The only thing I really dislike is the huge rings on it, If I'd know they were this big I would not have purchased this bit, Looks ridiculous.
Regards
Sally
Hi Sally Thankyou for your review! They do make smaller 55mm rings in a loose ring version of this bit if that helps :)
