The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of bits. Today we would like to introduce the Sprenger Dynamic RS Pelham Aurigan double jointed 16mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger Dynamic RS Pelham Aurigan double jointed 16mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with Pelham shanks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

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

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

Bit material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon and zinc. In order to keep copper nickel-free, more complex production steps are necessary, which make the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger Aurigan bits are more expensive than bits made of stainless steel or Argentan.

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 famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and sailing sports 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

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Shank

Pelham

The Pelham is a popular bit with short or long shanks. When the reins are taken up, the bit acts on the mouth, lower jaw and poll. Depending on the leverage length of the shanks, a varying degree of strong and immediate bit angulation can be achieved in the mouth. Possible use for horses that have difficulty going on the bit, for "hot" horses or for horses that need clear action in critical situations. The Pelham should only be used by experienced riders.
