The Neue Schule Tranz Angled Lozenge Cheltenham Gag is very beneficial for the overenthusiastic horse with a sensitive mouth. Cheltenham Gags are also useful on horses that are prone to leaning or snatching down.
The Eggbutt cheek of the Neue Schule Cheltenham Gag is often sourced for horses that are prone to rubbing, especially in the corner of the mouth as it is more stable and reduces friction.
When a contact is taken on the snaffle rein, the NS Tranz Angled Lozenge rolls down onto the centre of the tongue, the "sweet spot", enhancing feel and responsiveness, thus a higher level of communication is achieved.
Two reins allow the rider to differentiate between the snaffle action and the gag action (lift within the mouth). However, many riders only employ the gag rein which maximises on control and lift from the shoulder.
Use either in conjunction with rolled leather cheeks, aesthetically pleasing and softer in their action, or rope cheeks that have a sharper action as they slip back and forth through the cheeks more quickly
The Secret of the Salox? is the high thermal conductivity. This basically means that the mouthpiece of the bit warms up to about 30oC within the first few fractions of a second, whilst a stainless steel bit takes over 7 seconds. Again, when the bit moves in the mouth as the rein aids are applied the mouthpiece quickly adjusts to the new temperature. In essence, therefore the rein aids are more definitive because the bit no longer feels like a foreign body in the mouth. This equals a more relaxed acceptance of the bit. Horses that have previously been inwardly fixated on the bit and/or overactive have proven to be attentive and responsive to the aids provided by the Salox bits.
