The bit range from Sprenger provides soft yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Pelham Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Pelham Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm bit is made of Sensogan and equipped with Pelham cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative 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 choosing 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

Sensogan

The material mix Sensogan 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 dosed oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by 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 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

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, 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 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

Pelham

The Pelham combines a leverage effect on the lower jaw, a pressure development on the poll and a change in the position of the bit in the horse's mouth. The Pelham allows three different buckling options, which enable a well-dosed use of the bit. The solid cheek pieces are somewhat heavier, which ensures a quieter position in the horse's mouth.
