Neue Schule Tranz Lozenge Loose Ring Snaffle

The Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge Loose Ring is a gentle training tool with a bit of extra help. When a contact is taken, the Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge rolls down onto the centre of the tongue, the ‘sweet spot’, enhancing feel and responsiveness, thus a higher level of communication through the rein is achieved. The arms are slightly curved and of an oval profile. This oval design takes up less room between the tongue and upper palate, whilst offering a similar weight bearing surface from the horse’s perspective as thicker, circular mouthpieces. 

The 14mm bridoon with neat 55mm rings is used with the Weymouth or on a small head and normally offers extra lift from the shoulder, whilst taking up less room in the mouth than thicker mouthpieces.

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.
