The Sprenger KK Ultra Universal Bit Aurigan double jointed 16mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with 3-ring cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded 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

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon and zinc. In order to keep copper nickel-free, more elaborate working steps are necessary, which make the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger 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 water 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 standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Cheek piece

3-ring

The three-ring bit combines effective lateral limitation, leverage and lifting action in one bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various attachment options of the reins. When buckled into the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.
