Spot On Turtle Top with Flex
A modern, versatile cheek design with four different rein options plus a curb option. This enables the rider to achieve their objective as various ways of going may be encouraged.
Speed Control – Amplifies the rein aids for a downward transition.
Poll Relief – Highly recommended for horses with poll sensitivity.
Outline – Helps the rider establish a correct outline and self-carriage.
Turning – Reinforces the rein aids for tight turns and straightness.
This clever combination of cheek and mild mouthpiece allows the rider to reward instantly once the horse has responded to the rein aid.
The Turtle Top mouthpiece has been designed to benefit those horses with large or sensitive tongues and also reduces bar pressure. It is one of the few, very mild mouthpieces that also enhances the feel and response through the rein. Extremely useful for those horses who are ‘wooden’ to the rein aids.
This revolutionary design delivers the comfort of a fat bit, whilst taking up very little room in the mouth. Created in response to recent research which has shown that there is not as much space in the mouth as previously thought.

FlexZ
FlexZ is a development of our popular Tranz range (hence the “Z).
Gently curved cannons form a wide arch aligned over the tongue and held
in shape by Turtle Top. FlexZ is therefore more securely centred on the tongue and more resistant to being pulled through the mouth.

Get The Turtle Top Advantage
A Revolutionary Design;
The unique and innovative Turtle Top TM bit has been designed to help quieten and focus the over-active and busy mouth. The revolutionary Turtle Top TM prevents the horse from lifting the side arms, or “cannons, of the bit through its inspired joint design that locks the upward flexion of the cannons. The resulting stability of the bit in the mouth allows the rider to give clearer rein aids and provides the horse with fewer distractions.
The Turtle TopTM naturally sits further back in the mouth;
The Turtle Top with FlexZ
The upper surface of the central link matches the anatomy of the Equine Upper Palate by being gently curved and widened;
Anatomically Designed, The Turtle Top Link Sits Comfortably In The Palatine Arch
The Turtle TopTM Link holds the bit in an arc over the tongue helping to locate and maintain it in the most effective place.
The cannons have a unique flattened underside and horizontally positioned loops;
Flattened Underside Of The Cannons Provides Greatly Increased Surface Area
