Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Bit double jointed Sensogan/Stainless Steel rings 16mm from the Sprenger range in a little more detail:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Bit double jointed Sensogan/Stainless Steel rings 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring snaffle cheek pieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimetres at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold bloods and Shires 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

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 characterised by high compatibility.

Manufacturer information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specialises in metal processing, whether it's boat fittings, stirrups or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and water sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys, which are 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 hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to 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.

Cheek piece

Loose ring snaffle

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