JUST LAUNCHED New bits Nov 2006

Neue Schule proudly present the latest additions to the Performance Pony Range and Sports Horse Collection.

TFB Neue Schule TranzForm Beval 14mm

Available from 4" - 5" in ¼" increments

The TranzForm is not a severe mouthpiece owing to the comfort factor of Neue Schule Tranz Central Lozenge. The TranzForm mouthpiece is deigned to prohibit the pony from gaining any purchase on the mouthpiece with the teeth. In other words it should physically stop the pony from physically grabbing the bit and ------- off!!!! Also beneficial for ponies that snatch the rein, lean and pull down. The TranzForm generally gives much greater control without a fight or head toss during downward transitions. Very popular for jumping as an outline and rhythm are much more easily maintained - the pony may be placed but should still willingly take the rider in.

NS TranzForm Cartwheel Loose Ring

TFC Neue Schule TranzForm Cartwheel Snaffle 14mm

Available from 5" - 6 1/2" in ¼" increments and 7"

The TranzForm is not a severe mouthpiece owing to the comfort factor of Neue Schule Tranz Central Lozenge. The TranzForm mouthpiece is deigned to prohibit the horse from gaining any purchase on the mouthpiece with the teeth. In other words it should physically stop the horse from physically grabbing the bit and ------- off!!!! Also beneficial for ponies that snatch the rein, lean and pull down. The TranzForm generally gives much greater control without a fight or head toss during downward transitions. Very popular for jumping as an outline and rhythm are much more easily maintained - the pony may be placed but should still willingly take the rider in.

The TranzForm mouthpiece used in conjunction with the Cartwheel cheeks has a similar action to that of the Tranzform Beval - in short this should give much greater control and help with rounding and lift. Again owing to the Neue Schule Angled Tranz Central Lozenge this mouthpiece is much more comfortable than the ordinary racing or cherry rollers as when a downward transition is asked for the nutcracker action of the single joint is eliminated. Therefore the horse is much more comfortable, much much less likely to fight and head toss. This is obviously a lot more desirable especially when approaching a fence - the added bonus of the cartwheel cheek greatly aids turning.

Mors Lotte Thinner

The Thinner Mors L'Hotte Weymouth

The Mors L'hotte Weymouth is now available with an extremely thin mouthpiece - the thickness of the mouthpiece is 11.5mm - this is ideal for horses that do not have much room in the mouth and it is also extremely beneficial for horses that are strong but sensitive at the same time.

It is available in a 5cm, 7cm and 9cm cheek (7cm cheek shown) from 5" - 6" in 1/4" increments.

Waterford Pelham Pony

The Waterford Pelham

The waterford Pelham is a very popular bit and has previously only been available from 5" - 6 1/2" in the Sports Horse Collection. It is now available from 4" - 5" in 1/4" increments - every thing has been scaled down proportionately to suit the pony face and mouth conformation including the thickness of the mouthpiece which is now 14mm diameter.

Available from 4" - 5" in ¼" increments

The Waterford Pelham is sourced for ponies that are willful and strong. It is often used in the show ring as it helps to keep the pony round. It is not recommended for a novice child or a pony who does not fully understand the aids. in the right "sympathetic hands" this bit often proves extremely beneficial.

NS Waterford Baucher 8029B pony

8029B NS Waterford Baucher 14mm.

Available from 4" - 5" in 1/4" increments.

The Waterford Baucher is not anything like as severe as it looks - the mouthpiece bends in any direction so it sits very comfortably in the mouth and generally suits any type of mouth conformation. It is excellent for strong ponies and it is especially effective for rude ponies that lean, pull down or snatch at the reins. This bit also helps with outline and turning however, I would not recommend this on a green pony or a child that did not have an independent seat and good hands.

NS Waterford Universal Pony 14mm

8029UP Neue Schule Waterford Universal Pony Bit 14mm.

Available from 4" - 5" in ¼" increments

For the information on the Universal Cheek please refer to the Bitting Advice in Enlightened Bitting. In this I also describe the Waterford Mouthpiece however, this combination is new and has come about by popular demand. It is very handy for experienced children with strong overkeen and sometimes overconfident ponies. It is often used for instance on the hunting field and it is particularly beneficial for ponies that lean, pull and snatch down. It proves extremely dangerous if a pony is hurtl;ing towards a fence or hedge etc that it has not even seen. Many times when the head is simply lifted the pony will actually see the jump and back itself off - a pony curb strap is also available and this will usually reinforce the turning aids - again extremely useful if you are heading for a gap in the field!!

NS Waterford Beval Pony

8029BEV Performance Pony Waterford Beval 14mm.

Available from 4" - 5" in 1/4" increments.

The description of the Action of the Waterford Mouthpiece and the Beval cheeks is available to read in "Bitting Advice - Enlightened Bitting".

The Waterford Beval has come about by popular demand. It is often used on rude ponies that fully understand the aids but are willful and strong. Obviously this bit needs to be employed by a more experienced child. It is particularly useful on the hunting field.

The whole point of movng up into this type of bit which is designed to give more control is actually to save the horse or ponies mouth from damage or long term desensitisation that is caused by trying to stay in a snaffle bit. If one has to pull and haul on the mouth then it is far better to move up into a bit that is going to allow the rider to use a much softer aid. In essence these bits are not designed to cause discomfort or trauma of any description but quite the opposite and they are usually extremely successful when employed under the correct circumstances.
