The Neue Schule Turtle Top 16mm Hunter D Ring Bit is a brilliant choice by trainers and riders for encouraging soft, quiet horses and consistent contact between the rein and bit. This double-jointed mouthpiece features a flattened dome shape and the Neue Schule Flex Z cannon pieces which sit comfortably aligned with the horse's pallet, offering superior stability. The D Ring cheek pieces offer directional support as they do not slide through the mouth, making them ideal for tight turns in the Hunter, Jumper, or Equitation rings. This is also a fantastic Dressage bit as the D Rings support turning and lateral movements and sets the horse and rider up for correct bend on the circle and during rein changes.
