The Sprenger HO-Liverpool Weymouth Aurigan Mouthpiece with Port 19mm is made of Aurigan and features ****. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar with a port.

Mouthpiece thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather 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 the mouthpiece 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.

Bit material

Aurigan

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