About the Bit
Is your horse inconsistent in the contact, chomping or chewing on the bit or tossing its head?
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. 

This bit will help with

  • Chomping or chewing on bit 

  • Getting Tongue over the bit

  • Tongue sticking out of mouth 

  • Inconsistent in the contact

  • Tossing head

  • Sucking behind the contact

  • Opening mouth

NOT recommended for

  • Horses that are bar sensitive




Cheek piece 
A loose ring offers an instant release from pressure giving the horse an instant reward for being in the correct position.

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.

    Excellent concept amazing what a change in a bit can do

    Posted by Unknown on Nov 04, 2015

    I purchased this bit on trial for my young, very fussy mouthed 4yo whom I broke in and has been fussy with bits since the start - having his teeth done 3 times by expert dentist I was starting to worry I couldn't fix this. I tried this bit and although he is still not quite there yet in the walk the trot and canter is great. I tried this bit on my other horse, an eventer but training elementary/medium on flat and the change in him was amazing - he gets quite strong in the collection work as he finds it hard due to his desire to go fast and this bit has allowed me to make subtle half half and keep him with me more. It has also some how created more softness. Very very happy with this bit and I will be ordering another one so I don't have to keep swapping the one bit from bridle to bridle - a bit that has seen a huge change in both my horses in a way I have never experienced before with a bit change. Thankyou.
