Product Information

Full details

This Neue Schule Tranz Lozenge Eggbutt is designed for horses that are tentative or inconsistent in their contact. It provides stability in the mouth to boost confidence and encourage the horse to seek the bit and move forward into the rein. While beneficial for horses with short, tense necks and excellent for directional control, it's important to note that unlike traditional eggbutt designs, this specific combination retains feel and response, making the horse less likely to lean or fix against the rider's hand. It offers a unique blend of stability and responsiveness for improved communication.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Tranz Lozenge mouthpiece?

The Tranz Lozenge mouthpiece is designed to be more comfortable and ergonomically shaped for the horse's tongue, encouraging a softer and more consistent contact.

Why are eggbutt cheeks used on this bit?

Eggbutt cheeks are fixed, preventing the bit from being pulled through the horse's mouth and aiding in directional control. They also prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth.

Is this bit suitable for all horses?

This bit is particularly beneficial for horses that are tentative into the contact, need confidence, or have short, tense necks. It may not be the best choice for horses that require a more flexible or lenient bit.

How does this bit differ from a standard eggbutt snaffle?

The primary difference lies in the NS Tranz mouthpiece combined with the specific eggbutt cheek design. This combination aims to provide enhanced stability and confidence-building properties while retaining feel and responsiveness, unlike some traditional designs where feel can be lost.

What does '14mm' refer to in the product title?

The '14mm' refers to the thickness of the mouthpiece.

What does '5.25 inch' refer to?

The '5.25 inch' refers to the length of the mouthpiece from the inside of one ring to the inside of the other.

How should I clean this bit?

Clean the bit with a damp cloth after each use and store it in a dry place. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Horse appears uncomfortable or resistant.

Ensure the bit is the correct size and the cheeks are positioned flat against the face. Consider if this specific bit type is appropriate for the horse's individual needs and training stage. Consult with a qualified equestrian professional if discomfort persists.

Bit seems too stable, reducing rider feel.

This bit is designed for stability. If a more flexible or responsive bit is preferred, consider alternative Neue Schule models. Ensure the rider's hands are independent and sympathetic to maintain clear communication.

Cheeks are not lying flat against the face.

Check that the bridle cheekpieces are adjusted correctly and that the bit rings are not twisted. Ensure the bit size is appropriate for the width of the horse's mouth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Boosts confidence in tentative horses.
  • Improves directional control.

  • Maintains feel and responsiveness.
  • Suitable for horses with short, tense necks.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the bit is the correct size for your horse's mouth. The 5.25 inch measurement indicates the length of the mouthpiece.
  2. Introduce the bit gradually to allow the horse to acclimate to the feel.
  3. Ensure the eggbutt cheeks are positioned correctly, lying flat against the horse's face.

Compatibility:

  • This bit is compatible with standard bridle cheekpieces that accommodate a 5.25 inch (14mm) bit.

Care:

  • Clean the bit after each use with a damp cloth to remove any debris.
  • Periodically inspect the mouthpiece and cheeks for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Store the bit in a clean, dry place. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the material.
