Bit knowledge- the more you know!

🐎 Did you know this?
Do you know the difference between "lozenge" bits.
All lozenge bits are designed to give tongue pressure to help the poll flex. They just all do it in a different way.

1 - is a Neue Schule Team up snaffle. A fairly plain lozenge snaffle. This is NS's answer to the French Link snaffle. Its designed to distribute pressure more than a French Link with a rounded centre link and curved cannons.
As you can see from the photos, this has the most tongue pressure from all the bits presented here.

2- NS tranz angle lozenge snaffle. This lozenge is designed at an angle so that when a contact is taken up the lozenge rotates to a larger pressure bearing surface. This reduces some tongue pressure so that the lozenge presses more gently into the centre of the tongue for communication.

3 - NS verbindend with the angled lozenge and curved cannons. This was originally designed to enhance lift but it has been later found that it also gives tongue relief. The bit itself stays more curved in the mouth, reducing pressure on the sensitive parts of the tongue.

4 - NS turtle top Flex Z with a flatter link which locks upwards. This link is designed to be more aligned with the horses mouth shape - flatter wider tongue surface area, flatter to align with the palate. You can see that the cannons upwards movement towards the teeth is reduced. The cannons angle flatter to give arched shape and less likely to be dragged up into the mouth.

5- NS Turtle Tactio flex T - this is designed to focus pressure into the centre of the tongue diverting pressure away from the bars.

If you have any requests for bits for me to cover please leave a comment!

Pickles says damn thats some pretty hay 😍

No power and a foot of snow 👎🏻
But the horses are out, blanketed, troughs are slushy (not frozen), and plenty of hay has been dispersed. Stay safe and warm everyone!
