The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Copper Roller Bit, Single-Jointed, 13mm from the Sprenger range:

The Sprenger Copper Roller Bit, Single-Jointed, 13mm is made of copper and features D-ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 13 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

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

Bit Material

Copper

Copper has several positive properties. When it oxidizes, it develops a sweet taste, which leads to increased salivation and thus to horses accepting the bit better. Copper also has an antibacterial effect.

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. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, 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 Sprenger Copper Roller Bit, Single-Jointed, 13mm has a joint 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

D-Ring

Due to the characteristics of this bit, it is wonderfully suited for young horses that are still somewhat inexperienced. The shape and weight of the cheekpieces ensure a calm and comfortable position in the mouth. The shape of the D-rings provides optimal lateral support. Good and calm rein guidance is facilitated by the large ring. The larger rings provide a little more leverage on the poll.
