Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbutt - 16mm

Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbutt – 16 mm

Maximum stability, minimum pressure – anatomical comfort in a fixed shape

The Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbut with a 16 mm mouthpiece is designed for horses that require a more stable bit combined with anatomical comfort. The unique "Turtle Top" shape – inspired by the shape of a turtle shell – ensures that the bit conforms perfectly to the anatomy of the tongue and bars , without tipping or cutting in.

Thanks to the eggbutt side pieces (fixed rings), the bit sits more quietly in the mouth, providing more peace and confidence to sensitive or young horses. An excellent choice for riders who strive for calm communication and precise aids .
