Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger 2-Type Double Jointed Cu-Plus 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Bit Material

Copper

Copper has several positive properties. When it oxidizes, it takes on a sweet taste, which leads to better salivation and thus to horses accepting the bits better. In addition, copper has an antibacterial effect.
