Neue Schule Pony Tranz Lozenge Full Cheek

The Neue Schule Pony Tranz Angled Lozenge Full Cheek snaffle reinforces the turning aid and helps with straightness and direction.  With the pony bits the cheeks are scaled down to keep them in proportion with the smaller heads. 

The full cheeks are excellent for directional control; straightness and turning, hence beneficial for show jumping etc as the mouthpiece will not slide across the mouth when turning. It is also good for young ponies as the mouthpiece will not pull through in a panic situation.

Highly recommended for children who do not always support their inside rein. The upper cheeks may be fixed to the cheek pieces with Fulmer loops to exert gentle poll pressure (head lowering). We would not recommend fixing with young ponies as we would loose the play factor which is desirable for mouthing purposes.

The Secret of the Salox? is the high thermal conductivity. This basically means that the mouthpiece of the bit warms up to about 30^oC within the first few fractions of a second, whilst a stainless steel bit takes over 7 seconds. Again, when the bit moves in the mouth as the rein aids are applied the mouthpiece quickly adjusts to the new temperature. In essence, therefore the rein aids are more definitive because the bit no longer feels like a foreign body in the mouth. This equals a more relaxed acceptance of the bit. Horses that have previously been inwardly fixated on the bit and/or overactive have proven to be attentive and responsive to the aids provided by the Salox bits.
