Neue Schule Slimma Weymouth Bit (14mm)

The Neue Schule Slimma Weymouth Bit with 14mm Salox® Gold mouth features an unobtrusive design that provides good lifting action without upper palate interference. The mouthpiece sits well back over the thicker, less sensitive part of the tongue. It is anatomically designed to take up very little room in the mouth, bridging the tongue and contouring under the upper palate to leave much more space for the bradoon.

At 14mm in diameter and with this design, use of a fatter bradoon with this weymouth is possible, which may help a horse that is tentative in the contact. Stainless steel shanks are 7cm long. Curb chain is included.

Why choose a Neue Schule bit?

Neue Schule’s brand philosophy is, “That which is good for the horse is all that matters.” Their philosophy carries through into all aspects of engineering and producing precision bits. You can rest assured that your Neue Schule bit is designed to promote a harmonious partnership between you and your horse.

Neue Schule’s biologically inert mouthpiece metal, Salox Gold, is designed specifically for horses to maintain the natural warmth and softness of a horse’s mouth. By combining three scientific approaches, Salox supports pacifying and quietening the mouth:

1) High thermal diffusivity (warm). The bit rapidly reaches and maintains mouth temperature so that the mouthpiece does not feel cold for long.

2) Just soft enough. The bit material is softer than tooth enamel to ensure that if a horse bites it, the force is safely, comfortably absorbed into the material rather than reflected onto the teeth. It’s also just soft enough to dampen acoustic waves that would otherwise ring into the horse’s jaw. 

3) Neutral taste. Salox Gold is low in bioactivity. It promotes a quiet, receptive mouth by discouraging the horse to explore the bit for taste. The addition of aluminum in the metal, which forms an insoluble alumina (oxide) coating, traps the metal ions that would create taste.

In-house scientists, engineers and riders conduct all of the brand’s research and development. Neue Schule bits are ergonomically designed using the latest in engineering and CAD technologies. Sizes range from 4″ to 6½”. Individual molds are made for every ¼” increment to ensure anatomically correct sizing.

Neue Schule Bits are the Official Bit of U.S. Equestrian.
