Sprenger Novocontact Olive Head Snaffle Bit Single Joint Sensogan 16mm

Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. This makes it a moderately strong 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-blooded horses 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 test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of the bits. Today we would like to present the Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger Novocontact Eggbutt Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with eggbutt rings as a side piece. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Eggbutt

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

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

A single jointed bit has one hinge point, which exerts 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 certainly the most common of all mouthpieces alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

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.
