Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed Aurigan 14mm

Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed Aurigan 14mm

The bit is 14mm 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 more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually need 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 Sprenger development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed Aurigan 14mm bit from the Sprenger range in a little more detail:

The Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed Aurigan 14mm bit is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

Side piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Dynamic RS Loose Ring Snaffle Double Jointed Aurigan 14mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. 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 on horses 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 complex work steps are necessary, which make the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger's Aurigan bits are more expensive than bits made of stainless steel or Argentan.
