Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK D-Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger KK D-Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 16mm is made of Sensogan and features D-shaped rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore 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, 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 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

Sensogan

The Sensogan material mix consists of copper, manganese, and zinc. The trace element manganese has a positive effect on the horse's metabolism and stress reduction. The combination of copper and manganese leads to a dosed oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether it's 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 exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widespread.

Cheekpiece

D-Ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suitable for young horses that are still somewhat inexperienced. The shape and weight of the cheekpieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. Due to the shape of the D-shaped rings, optimal lateral support is provided. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
