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 palate.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Universal Bit Sensogan double jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in a little more detail:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Universal Bit Sensogan double jointed 18mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with 3-ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side 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 ways the reins can be attached. When attached to the lower ring, the pulling rein exerts the action of a short lever on the bit. The 3-ring bit is often used to test the horse's reaction to leverage.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little more loosely in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Caution 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.

Bit Material

Sensogan

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