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.

Bit thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger KK Ultra double-jointed Aurigan 16mm bit is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. Be careful 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

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon, and zinc. To keep copper nickel-free, more complex production 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.
