The Sprenger bit collection provides soft but effective aids for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger HO-Post Weymouth Aurigan Straight Bar with Port 19mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger HO-Post Weymouth Aurigan Straight Bar with Port 19mm is made of Aurigan and is equipped with ****. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar with a port.

Bit thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. 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 bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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. 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.

Mouthpiece

Straight bars with port

The straight bar with port provides space for the tongue, reducing pressure on the center of the horse's tongue. More tongue freedom is ideal for horses with sensitive tongues or horses that stick their tongues out. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.
