The Sprenger KK Loose Ring Snaffle Anatomically Shaped Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm bit is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making 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 choosing 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

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.

Information about the manufacturer

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, be it boat fittings, stirrups or bits. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and sailing sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples of this are 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 applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger KK Loose Ring Snaffle Anatomically Shaped Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a "more mobile" bit in their mouth.
