Sprenger KK ULTRA 12 mm - Sensogan

Sprenger KK ULTRA 12 mm - Sensogan

The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissures. This makes it a rather thin 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 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.

Sprenger bits are selected with the greatest care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK ULTRA 12 mm - Sensogan bit from the Sprenger range in a little more detail today:

The Sprenger KK ULTRA 12 mm - Sensogan bit is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

Cheek piece

Loose Ring

A loose ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger KK ULTRA 12 mm - Sensogan is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used for narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

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.
