The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger KK Bradoon single jointed Aurigan 14mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger KK Bradoon single jointed Aurigan 14mm bit is made of Aurigan and equipped with smaller cheek pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14mm at its thickest point. 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 Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

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.

Bit material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon and zinc. In order to keep copper nickel-free, more elaborate work 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.

Manufacturer information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether for 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

single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

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 bits 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 cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth bit is a straight bar and the bradoon is jointed.
