The Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbutt Snaffle is a modern, thoughtfully engineered bit designed to offer control, stability, and comfort for sensitive or inconsistent horses. It features Neue Schule’s patented Turtle Top mouthpiece—named for its shape—which is a central, flattened link that sits securely over the tongue without creating palate pressure. This unique design promotes consistent contact and reduces resistance, making it a smart choice for horses that become fussy, overactive, or tight in the mouth.
The Turtle Top design also prevents the bit from collapsing in a nutcracker action, which is common with traditional double-jointed snaffles. Instead, the curved profile of the mouthpiece follows the natural shape of the horse’s mouth, distributing pressure evenly across the tongue and bars. This creates a stable, quiet feel in the hand, which horses tend to trust and respond to more willingly.
The eggbutt cheekpieces add to the stability of the bit by preventing excessive movement and maintaining a consistent position in the horse’s mouth. This is especially useful for horses that are sensitive to rein aids or those who dislike the movement of loose rings. The fixed sides also help improve lateral control, making it a suitable choice for young horses, green horses, or those that need more directional guidance.
The Neue Schule Turtle Top Eggbutt Snaffle is ideal for horses that:
-
Resist traditional double-jointed bits
-
Toss their head or evade contact
-
Are sensitive to movement and prefer a more stable feel
-
Require a comfortable, ergonomic mouthpiece for everyday work
Perfect for flatwork, schooling, or low-pressure competition settings, this bit encourages a softer, more consistent connection. The Turtle Top Eggbutt is a go-to for riders who want clarity without confrontation, and comfort without compromise.
