The bit is 18mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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 Thickness

Cheekpiece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a very commonly used bit. The rings of the Sprenger KK Training Bit Aurigan Bar with Port 18mm cannot move independently of each other, so that the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. In addition, this cheekpiece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Bars with Port

The bar with a port provides 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 their tongues out. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Bit Material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon and zinc. More complex steps are necessary to keep copper nickel-free, which makes the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger Aurigan bits are more expensive than stainless steel or Argentan bits.
