Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar Bit 16mm

Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar Snaffle Bit 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is typically 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit range from Sprenger provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar Snaffle Bit 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar Snaffle Bit 16mm is made of plastic and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Bit thickness

Cheek piece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater flexibility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Duo Plastic Bar Snaffle Bit 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a "more mobile" bit in their mouth.

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 action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Plastic

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