Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge Loose Ring bit adds a little extra contact at the center of the tongue, making it a helpful training tool for a variety of needs. When the rein is activated, the Tranz Angled Lozenge rolls down onto the center of the tongue. The communication is clear for a quick response. The mouthpiece arms have an oval shape that takes up less room than a thicker, circular mouthpiece. This design is well suited for a horse with less space between the tongue and upper palate. The mouthpiece metal is Salox Gold, a unique alloy that is warm, softer than steel but stronger than a polymer, and bioactive. This means it is low in taste and odor that might distract the horse.
