The range of bits from Sprenger provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger 3-Ring Snaffle Bit Single Jointed Stainless Steel 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger 3-Ring Snaffle Bit Single Jointed Stainless Steel 18mm is made of stainless steel and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit material

Stainless steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.

Information about the manufacturer

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether it's boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most famous manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and boating sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples of this are the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys, which are used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheek piece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral restriction, leverage, and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the different rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the picking up rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
