Specifically engineered to accommodate the larger or sensitive tongue. Often negates the need to shut the mouth.
This bold TongueSMART™ design focuses rein pressure to the central part of the tongue whilst diverting pressure away from the sensitive regions near the bars. The unique central ‘Turtle’ link brings the proximal ends of the cannons to their closest separation possible. The Flex ™ concept of widening the surfaces that lie parallel to the plane of the tongue reduces the pressure further. With any kind of noseband the closed mouth easily accommodates the mouthpiece whose effective thickness in the region of the interdental space is the smallest in the Neue Schule range. To reward horses that want to work with you.
The loose ring is the most popular cheek piece. The sliding action of the ring makes it less likely for your horse to be able to lean or block through the rein.
