Sprenger KK Ultra Fillis Double-Broken Snaffle Sensogan / Stainless Steel 16mm

Sprenger KK Ultra Fillis Snaffle Bit Double Jointed Sensogan / Niro 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's commissure. So it is more of a medium-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, draft horses and Shire horses usually need 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 conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

The bit range from Sprenger provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Fillis Snaffle Bit Double Jointed Sensogan / Niro 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger KK Ultra Fillis Snaffle Bit Double Jointed Sensogan / Niro 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with so-called Baucher or Fillis side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Baucher/Fillis

The Sprenger KK Ultra Fillis Snaffle Bit Double Jointed Sensogan / Niro 16mm is a Baucher bit, also called B-snaffle, Fillis or Fillet bit. This bit is suitable for horses that are sensitive 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-snaffle strongly resembles a Pelham in the upper part of the bit, because as with the Pelham, the cheekpiece is buckled in 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

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, 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 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 Copper, manganese and zinc are the components of Sprenger's Sensogan alloy. 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 controlled oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.
