Neue Schule bits have been ergonomically designed using the latest technology to produce high performance superior bits for all disciplines and levels of riding. Neue Schule bits are made with Neue Schule Salox Gold which is a high copper alloy used for its high thermal conductivity and anti-tarnishing properties; Salox Gold quickly reaches body temperature and so encourages relaxation and acceptance of the bit. The Neue Schule Starter bit promotes mouthing and acceptance which helps to build confidence in the contact. The NS Starter Bit is good for lungeing, long-reining and schooling and is a gentle bit with tongue relief that encourages the horse to stretch the topline seeking forward and down into a soft consistent contact.
