About this sponsor
Engineering the perfect conversation between horse and rider
Neue Schule is one of the most respected names in bit design and engineering in the equestrian world. Founded in the UK and built on decades of biomechanical research, the brand exists for one reason: to make the dialogue between horse and rider clearer, gentler, and more effective. Every bit is the product of genuine science, real-world testing, and a deep commitment to the horse's comfort and wellbeing.
WES is proud to have Neue Schule as a sponsor. Their commitment to evidence-based design and horse welfare aligns perfectly with everything WES stands for.
What makes Neue Schule different
At the heart of every Neue Schule bit is a proprietary material called Salox Gold. Unlike conventional metal, Salox Gold warms to body temperature within seconds of entering the horse's mouth. The result is faster acceptance, less tension, and a horse that can focus on the rider's aids rather than the feel of the bit itself.
It is the kind of detail that separates a bit engineered around the horse from one simply manufactured to a price point.
Every design is built around the contours of the horse's oral anatomy. Mouthpiece thickness, ring geometry, and pressure distribution across poll, bars, tongue, and corners are all considered at the design stage, not as an afterthought.
Western bits by Neue Schule
The western range brings the same precision engineering and comfort-first philosophy to reining, ranch, trail, and showmanship - disciplines that demand both clarity of communication and genuine softness in the horse's mouth.
The range was developed in collaboration with Joe Midgley - international western horseman and WES Professional - bringing real discipline-specific expertise to the design process. These are bits built for western riding, not simply adapted from other disciplines.
Designed to be comfortable for your horse above all else, while allowing you to achieve peak performance.
Not sure which bit is right for your horse?
Bitting is not one-size-fits-all. The right bit depends on your horse's anatomy, training history, sensitivity, and the demands of the work. Neue Schule's approach starts with understanding that whole picture. Detailed guidance is available on their website, and their team can support with specific bitting questions.
