The Turtle Topâ ¢ Loose Ring also features Flex technology which is a development of the Tranz range. The Flex mouthpiece offers gently curving cannons to form a wide arch over the tongue. This wide arch is held in place by the Turtle Topâ ¢ meaning it is more securely centered on the tongue and less likely to be pulled through the mouth. The Loose Ring provides more movement and discourages the horse from leaning and grabbing the bit, through this self carriage is encouraged.
