Sprenger Novocontact Olive Head Snaffle Double Jointed Sensogan 16mm

Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Double Jointed Sensogan 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its widest point. Therefore, it is considered a medium-strength 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 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to check how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Double Jointed Sensogan 16mm bit is made of Sensogan and features eggbutt rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Eggbutt

The eggbutt bit is a standard bit. The rings of the Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Double Jointed Sensogan 16mm cannot move independently, so the rider's aids are transmitted directly and the bit lies stably in the horse's mouth. Furthermore, this side piece does not pinch the corners of the horse's mouth, so rubber bit guards are not necessary.

Mouthpiece

Double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The joints can press on the bars in horses with narrow lower jaws. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

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.
