The Neue Schule Turtle Top Flex Loose Ring Snaffle & Bradoon Bit is an anatomy-inspired double jointed bit design with enhanced mouthpiece stability, through optimized alignment of the mouthpiece surfaces to the tongue and palate. The Neue Schule Flex design concept delivers a guaranteed and well controlled co-alignment of the surfaces of the mouthpiece with the sensitive surfaces of the equine mouth. For most designs Flex delivers parallel co-alignment of the Turtle Topª dome with the equine palate. In selected designs we allow Flex to deliver some firm but fair additional pressure to the tongue and poll using a lever action-induced rotation of the mouthpiece. The extra pressure obtainable is carefully restricted with Flex limiting the range of additional rotation to around 10 degrees. FlexZ is a development of our popular Tranz range (hence the Z). Gently curved cannons form a wide arch aligned over the tongue and held in shape by Turtle Topª. FlexZ is therefore more securely centered on the tongue and more resistant to being pulled through the mouth.
