Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Duo Loose Ring Mullen Mouth Bit 16 mm with Dual Functionality - White Plastic from the Sprenger range:

The Sprenger Duo Loose Ring Mullen Mouth Bit 16 mm with Dual Functionality - White Plastic is made of stainless steel and equipped with loose rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a mullen mouth.

Bit thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's lip area. This makes it a medium-thick 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 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 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.

Mouthpiece

Mullen mouth bits

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

Side piece

Loose Ring

The loose ring bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Sprenger Duo Loose Ring Mullen Mouth Bit 16 mm with Dual Functionality - White Plastic cannot move independently of each other, so that the rider's aid is directly conveyed and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.
