Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Ultra Bradoon Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings double jointed 14mm bit from the Sprenger range today:

The Sprenger KK Ultra Bradoon Sensogan/Stainless Steel Rings double jointed 14mm bit is made of Sensogan and features smaller cheek pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14mm at its thickest point. This makes it 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, draught horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

Bradoons for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

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 controlled 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 it's boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

Double jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, bars, and 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 applies more pressure to the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheek piece

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g., eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to a whole centimeter larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed.
