Neue Schule Turtle Tactio™ Flex™ Zlida

The Neue Schule Turtle Tactio™ with Flex Zlida is designed for fast work and has a 16mm Salox® Gold mouth. Clever cheeks offer multiple benefits as they combine the directional enhancement gained from using a fixed cheek, such as a d-ring, while retaining the feel and response associated with a loose ring.

This bit is also sourced as a training tool for flatwork as it can help improve a horse’s balance and outline, allowing for softer, straighter and cleaner transitions. Used for kind speed control, the Turtle Tactio Flex Zlida amplifies rein aids for downward transitions

While mild mouthpieces tend to give an overly wooden feel through reins, the Turtle Tactio mouth combines comfort with increased feel and response. The Tactio utilizes the center of the tongue, relieving pressure over the more sensitive outer edges and bars. Thus, it encourages the horse to relax, leaving the tongue on the floor of the mouth, cushioning and protecting the bars.

A favorite with pleasure and competition riders alike. Some have found they can dispense with the flash as the horse no longer feels the need to open the mouth.

Note: Not permitted for use in dressage.
