Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar D-Ring Snaffle 16mm

Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar D-Ring Snaffle 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it is a medium-strong mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is usually between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

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

The Sprenger development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar D-Ring Snaffle 16mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar D-Ring Snaffle 16mm bit is made of plastic and equipped with D-shaped rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar.

Bit thickness

Side piece

D-Ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still a little inexperienced. The shape and weight of the side pieces ensure a quiet and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.

Mouthpiece

Bar bits

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

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 slide easily in the mouth, even with little saliva flow.
