Sprenger bits are carefully selected and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to present the Sprenger KK Liverpool Curb Bit Aurigan Bar with Port 21mm from the Sprenger range in a little more detail:

The Sprenger KK Liverpool Curb Bit Aurigan Bar with Port 21mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with driving curb bit side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is a bar with a port.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 20mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. It is therefore a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

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 palate.

Bit Material

Aurigan

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

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 famous manufacturers in the equestrian, canine and boating 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

Bars with Ports

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 stick out their tongue. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Side Piece

Driving Curb Bits

Driving curb bits like the Sprenger KK Liverpool Curb Bit Aurigan Bar with Port 21mm are specially suited to the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving curb bits.

Liverpool Curb Bit The Liverpool curb bit is a classic driving bit and offers several possibilities for rein attachment. The Liverpool curb bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the port forward. This forward tilt relieves pressure on the bars and has a greater effect on the tongue.

Post Curb Bit The post curb bit is also a classic driving curb bit and is commonly used for tandem harnessing. It offers two possibilities for rein attachment. The reins are attached to the lower ring to achieve leverage. When attached to the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
