Neue Schule says:
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.

How to measure a horse bit
Getting the right size bit for your horse is essential when it comes to his comfort. But how do you measure a horse bit? Let us help.
Step 1- Get a tape measure that shows inches. As with lots of other things in the equestrian world, bits are measured in inches.
Step 2 – Put the bit on a flat surface to ensure an accurate measurement.
Step 2- Measure from the inside of the ring or the cheek on one side across the mouthpiece to the other side. And that’s your measurement.
How do you know what size bit your horse needs?
If you’re swapping one bit for another, it’s easy as you can just measure your existing bit (assuming it’s the correct size) and that’s the size you need.
If you haven’t got a bit for your horse, you can use a bit measuring device, a piece of bailing twine, or another straight, smooth item that you can put in your horse’s mouth, where the bit would sit. Then, just mark on the item either side of the horse’s mouth and measure that distance.
