The Sprenger development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger HS Rubber Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Solid Mouthpiece 20mm from the Sprenger range:

The Sprenger HS Rubber Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Solid Mouthpiece 20mm is made of rubber and features loose ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a solid bar.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore 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 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 the palate.

Bit Material

Rubber

Rubber as a bit material is generally somewhat softer than plastic. Rubber bits are usually very flexible and soft. Due to the slightly rougher surface structure, a so-called "eraser effect" can occur in horses with insufficient saliva production, where the rubber starts to rub slightly in the mouth.

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

The family-owned 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, dog, and boating 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

Solid Mouthpieces

A solid mouthpiece is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A solid mouthpiece has a sharper action than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger HS Rubber Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Solid Mouthpiece 20mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
