Neue Schule horse bits have taken the horse bit market by storm over the last few years and have become extremely popular with both amateur and professional riders.
Neue Schule stands for new school; the brand name came about when the designer of the bits, Heather Hyde was in discussions with a German rider about the design and manufacture of the bits. His take..."diese sind sehr neue Schule" (these are very new school) and from then on the name Neue Schule stuck and became one of the UK's favourite brands of horse bits.
Neue Schule bits are designed according to the modern day demands on the horse and rider. Unlike traditional bitting companies, Neue Schule's bit design philosophy was to make reliable bits which are perfectly designed for functionality and fit. Heather Hyde, the designer of the bits has years of first hand experience of bitting horses and her knowledge was integrated with modern design techniques to create the Neue Schule bit range.
Neue Schule produce detailed computer models of their bits which allows for rigorous testing prior to production. The Neue Schule engineering process means that all Neue Schule bits are robustly tested for strength, durability and longevity prior to production ensuring only the highest quality horse bits are actually developed as a prototype.
Once Neue Schule bits have been tested in a computer model, prototypes are made and are tested in a group of horses which are known well by the company to assess the functionality of the bit and the suitability of the bit to help combat training issues. Only when positive results are obtained from a wide selection of their horses and riders, does a bit go into production.
So there it is, the Neue Schule bit that you receive has undergone excessive tests to ensure it performs the best for you and your horse.
