Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Novocontact Snaffle Bit Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm from the Sprenger range:

The Sprenger Novocontact Snaffle Bit Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making it a rather 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 bloods and Shire Horses usually need 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Bit Material

Sensogan

The Sensogan material mix consists of copper, manganese and zinc. 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.

About the Manufacturer

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 famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and boating 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

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on 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 freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Novocontact Snaffle Bit Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
