The Sprenger bit range provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Liverpool Weymouth Bit Aurigan Double-Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Liverpool Weymouth Bit Aurigan Double-Jointed 18mm is made of Aurigan and features driving Weymouth cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 18mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a rather medium-thick 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 palate.

Bit Material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon, and zinc. More elaborate working steps are necessary to keep copper nickel-free, which makes the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger's Aurigan bits are higher priced than bits made of stainless steel or Argentan.

Information about the Manufacturer

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes 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 boating sports industries. The company stands for high-quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the metal alloys Aurigan and Sensogan, which are used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Double-jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and sits a little 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 joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single-jointed bits.

Cheeks

Driving Weymouth Bits

Driving Weymouth bits, like the Sprenger KK Ultra Liverpool Weymouth Bit Aurigan Double-Jointed 18mm, are specially suited for the needs of carriage horses. There are several types of driving Weymouth bits.

Liverpool Weymouth Bit The Liverpool Weymouth bit is a classic driving bit and offers several options for rein attachment. The Liverpool Weymouth bit is usually available with short or long shanks. It is also possible to tilt the angle of the port forward. This forward tilt relieves the bars and acts more on the tongue.

Post Weymouth Bit The Post Weymouth bit is also a classic driving Weymouth bit and is commonly used for rural harnessing. It offers two options for rein attachment. Attachment in the lower ring creates leverage. When attached in the upper ring, this leverage is absent, and the bit becomes a snaffle bit.
