Sprenger Max Control D-Ring Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Double Jointed 16mm

Sprenger Max Control D-Ring Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Double Jointed 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it a medium-strength mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more like 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing 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.

The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Max Control D-Ring Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Double Jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Max Control D-Ring Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Double Jointed 16mm is made of stainless steel and features D-shaped rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

D-Ring

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

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is shaped more towards the mouth, and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit applies pressure to the tongue, bars, and corners of the mouth. Caution 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.

Bit Material

Stainless Steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.
