Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar 3-Ring Bit 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar 3-Ring Bit 16mm is made of plastic and equipped with 3-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. 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 bloods and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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 palate.

Bit Material

Plastic

Food-grade plastic is used for bits, which means no plasticizers are used, and it is well tolerated by horses. The particularly smooth texture ensures that the bit can glide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva production.

Manufacturer Information

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 renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and boating industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the metal alloys Aurigan and Sensogan, which are used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Straight Bar Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

3-Ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, 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 rein applies the effect of a short lever to the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
