Sprenger KK Ultra B Double Jointed Snaffle Bit Sensogan 16mm

Sprenger KK Ultra Baucher Bit double-jointed Sensogan 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-strength 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, draft horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The bit range from Sprenger provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Baucher Bit double-jointed Sensogan 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Baucher Bit double-jointed Sensogan 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with so-called Baucher or Fillis cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Baucher/Fillis

The Sprenger KK Ultra Baucher Bit double-jointed Sensogan 16mm is a Baucher bit, also called a B-bit, Fillis, or Fillet bit. This bit is suitable for horses that react sensitively to poll pressure. It lies very quietly in the mouth and particularly encourages horses that carry their heads very high to lower them and become lighter in the poll. The B-bit strongly resembles a Pelham in the upper part of the bit, because, as with the Pelham, the cheekpiece is buckled into the upper, small ring. However, unlike the Pelham, the rein does not act on the bit via a lever and therefore exerts hardly any pressure on the poll.

Mouthpiece

double-jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped 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. The bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

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.
