The Neue Schule tranz universal with leather strap is a great bit for horses that need a little firmer encouragement when asking to flex and listen to the riders aids. The tranz universal is popular with show jumpers, and helps to promote outline and contact. This neue schule bit has proven the key to many strong yet sensitive horses when more control is needed, especially during faster work. The tranz angled lozenge encourages a true contact and higher level of responsiveness than for example a french link. The tranz lozenge is set on at an angle activating more feel over the tongue, so when a contact is taken, the rounded lozenge rolls down smoothly into and over the tongue, utilizing feel but not abusing it. This makes the tranz angle different in its action from conventional bits, and thereby enables clearly defined aids to be given through the reins. This Neue schule bit is made with a mouthpiece constructed out of Salox, a warmer, sweeter, softer metal containing a very high copper content and Neue Schule additive to maximise oxidation (tarnish and nickel free). Salox helps to promote salivation, mouthing, acceptance and promote better communication.
