The Sprenger team is continuously working on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Sprenger KK Ultra Bit double jointed Sensogan 16mm with crystal from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Bit double jointed Sensogan 16mm with crystal is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose rings, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses 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.

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 controlled oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by their high compatibility.

Manufacturer information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether boat fittings, stirrups or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the best-known manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and boating industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

The double jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. 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. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars if the lower jaw is narrow. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger KK Ultra Bit double jointed Sensogan 16mm with crystal is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
