For most designs Flex delivers parallel co-alignment of the Turtle Top™ dome with the equine palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn selected designs we allow Flex to deliver some firm but fair additional pressure to the tongue and poll using a lever action-induced rotation of the mouthpiece. The extra pressure obtainable is carefully restricted with Flex limiting the range of additional rotation to around 10 degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlex\u003csup\u003eZ\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFlex\u003csup\u003eZ\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a development of our popular Tranz range (hence the “Z”).

Turtle Top™ with Flex keeps the mouthpiece centred and arched over the tongue at all times, encouraging relaxation. This comfortable mouthpiece re-focuses the inattentive mouth back onto the rein aids in order to achieve a soft consistent contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy combining this mouthpiece with a D-Ring it enhances directional control making it exceptionally good for tight turns during faster work as the mouthpiece should not slide across the mouth. It’s also good for dressage as it gives the rider greater shoulder control on a circle and helps set up the bend when changing the rein or with lateral work. The stability the D-Ring offers along with the clever design of the mouthpiece is often useful for horses that are overactive in the mouth in a loose ring design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Neue Schule Turtle Top With Flex 16mm Hunter D-Ring is dressage legal. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Avenir Book'; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman \\(Body CS\\)';\"\u003eThis product is available via GS Equestrian and ships within the United Kingdom only.  International customers are encouraged to shop directly at the brand's own website.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: 'Avenir Book';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"*GS Equestrian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43191341482097,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/3538\/7249\/files\/Neue_Schule_Turtle_Top_bit.png?v=1777734148","url":"https:\/\/canterandcrest.com\/products\/neue-schule-turtle-top-with-flex-16mm-hunter-d-ring","provider":"Canter \u0026 Crest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
