Sprenger KK Ultra Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings Double Jointed 18mm

Sprenger KK Ultra Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings, Double Jointed, 18mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its widest point. It is therefore 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require 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 the palate.

The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and effectiveness. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings, double jointed, 18mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings, double jointed, 18mm bit is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e., rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring

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 Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings, double jointed, 18mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

A double-jointed mouthpiece is a standard 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, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. The bit should not be used on horses 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

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