The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan 16mm Single Jointed from the Sprenger range:

The Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan 16mm Single Jointed is made of Aurigan and features loose rings as cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally 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 palate.

Bit Material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon, and zinc. More complex steps are required to keep copper nickel-free, which makes the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger's Aurigan bits are priced higher 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 for boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and marine 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

Single Jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece and very common.

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan 16mm Single Jointed is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
