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 KK Correction Bit Sensogan Bar with Port 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Correction Bit Sensogan Bar with Port 18mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring snaffle side pieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar with a port.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately 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 use your fingers to check 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 results in 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 for boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and boating industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples of this are the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Bars with Port

The bar with a port allows space for the tongue and thus reduces pressure on the center of the horse's tongue. More tongue relief is ideal for horses with sensitive tongues or horses that tend to stick their tongue out. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Side 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 KK Correction Bit Sensogan Bar with Port 18mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
