Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbutt 7023E

On Bitbank's advice I bought this for my 3.5 yr old gelding, who I had been riding in a loose ring bit. He had been moving his head around a fair bit. Charmae suggested I go with a fixed cheek Turtle Top to provide more stability and clarity for my horse. The fixed cheek keeps things stiller in the mouth, provides an instant release (compared to a loose ring which moves), and the Turtle Top also can't be pushed up in the mouth. After switching to the new bit my horse is definitely much more stable with his head and his turns have also improved, probably because he is getting a clearer signal. I'm really happy with the help and advice I got from Bitbank. And of course the NS bit is beautifully made and well designed so I am very happy with that too.

Have used the Neue Schule Turtle top Eggbutt, on a sensitive , responsive , green broken 4.5 yr old Warmblood. He has been more consistent and confident in the contact. Happy to take the contact and travel forward, round and down. Lifting through the shoulder and back. He doesn’t feel blocked by pressure on his tongue. He feels more secure with the fixed ring and is swinging beautifully behind. My coach noticed a positive difference as well. Super happy with the kindness of the bit and the confidence it gives the horse. The girls had the product sent to me within the week.

Couldn’t quite find the right bit for my OTTB who’s sensitive in the mouth but also quite strong. After Charmaine’s reccomendation with the Turtle Top I couldn’t be happier! He’s so soft and supple, no longer leans or resists the contact. Definitely worth the investment in a quality bit.

Very happy with my Turtle Top, Bit Bank was very helpful when I was unsure of the sizing. My bit fits perfectly. My horse likes it, gently chewing on it, which keeps his mouth soft. I had a bit fitter look at his mouth, and this is the type of bit she recommended for my horse.

My thoroughbred mare is very sensitive and does not like any contact on her mouth. I’ve tried 4 other bits. She is much happier in this bit and is not throwing her head anywhere near as much and no longer sucking behind the bit. I’m very pleased with it.

This bit has done everything it promised. My horse’s mouth is sensitive and he was playing with the bit, not consistent on the contact, fussing, sticking tongue out and sometimes trying to get his tongue over the bit. After working in the turtle top for a few weeks his mouth has really settled down and is now taking a soft & consistent contact. No more sticking the tongue out or over. He loves this bit, therefore I love this bit!!

I have a young standy that plays constantly with his bit , tries to put his tongue over the bit etc. With his new bit he was more relaxed through his poll,more responsive to the rein aids ,very happy with it . Charamiane was extremely helpful in selecting the right bit ,order dispatched promptly.

I really liked this bit and had heard great things from it. It did take my very sensitive mare a few rides to settle in the bit and the feel. But we’re a few rides in now and she’s doing well. Thank you to Bit Bank for all the bit advice and getting me the bit super quick!!

Thank you very much for your phone support. My young horse is very happy now and finally seeking a contact, he's improved in leaps and bounds since the turtle top arrived. He has been happy since starting in a single jointed blue bomber bit .. until his canines erupted and then we quickly needed something else! Finding a happy solution has been a bit tricky as he's 17hh but only needs a 5" bit and this bit was accepted immediately. I toook out the bit insurance just in case but happily didn't need to use it. Many thanks again :)
