The bit series from Sprenger provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Universal Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Universal Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with 2.5 ring side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18mm 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, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions 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.

Sprenger is one of the most well-known manufacturers in the equestrian, dog, and boating sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The Sprenger KK Universal Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm has a joint in the middle, which applies less pressure to the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Side Piece

2.5-Ring

Combines effective lateral guidance, leverage, and elevating action in one bit, while usually being somewhat softer than a 3-ring bit. The degree of action is chosen by the various rein attachment options. When attached to the lower ring, the taking rein exerts the effect of a short lever on the bit.
