METLAR/NEUE SCHULE English Horse Bits|Neue Schule Verbindend American Dee-Lite, 12mm

The Neue Schule Verbindend American Dee-Lite has a 12mm Salox® Gold mouthpiece that is gently shaped with a lozenge center. The popular Verbinend mouthpiece greatly clarifies and emphasizes signals through the rein. It helps promote self-carriage and throughness, a true outline and freedom through the shoulders. The Verbindend has consistently helped eradicate tongue evasions, encouraging the horse to soften and relax through the jaw. This cleverly curved mouthpiece can also enhance the development of the bend for lateral work and smaller circles.

Salox Gold is a high copper alloy specifically formulated to rapidly reach and maintain the temperature of a horse’s mouth, further encouraging softness and relaxed bit acceptance. This attractive metal has anti-tarnishing properties to maintain its luxurious look.

This is a super-lightweight Hunter Dee incorporating the modern hinged American Dee-Lite Cheek. It provides increased directional control recommended for the showjumper requiring tight turns. It can benefit the rider in dressage where accuracy and clear shoulder aids are essential.

This bit has proven to be a popular choice for horses that are heavy on the forehand as lift in front and shoulder freedom is usually achieved.

Special sizing note: Due to the unique curvature of the Verbindend mouthpiece, horses with thick lips or fleshy tongues may need a size 1/4 larger than they would normally take in other bits with straight mouthpieces. When in doubt, it is recommended to go up to the next size.
