Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle with D-Rings, Double Jointed, Aurigan, 16mm

Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle with D-Rings, Double Jointed, Aurigan 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather 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 selecting 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. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle with D-Rings, Double Jointed, Aurigan 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle with D-Rings, Double Jointed, Aurigan 16mm is made of Aurigan and features loose rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Loose Ring

Loose ring snaffles have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide slightly more stability in the mouth, which means that the Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle with D-Rings, Double Jointed, Aurigan 16mm lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped to the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Bit Material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon, and zinc. To keep copper nickel-free, more elaborate working steps are necessary, which make the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger Aurigan bits are higher priced than bits made of stainless steel or Argentan.
