The Sprenger bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Sprenger Novocontact Weymouth Bradoon Double Jointed Sensogan 12mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger Novocontact Weymouth Bradoon Double Jointed Sensogan 12mm bit is made of Sensogan and features smaller cheek pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The bit is 12mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's lips. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shires Horses rather 18mm and larger.

Bradoons for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

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.

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 dosed oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterised by high compatibility.

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specialises in metal processing, whether it's boat fittings, stirrups or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most well-known manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and boating sectors. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples of this are the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

The double-jointed mouthpiece is one of the most common mouthpieces on the market. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth and sits a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. Be careful with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double-jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue than single-jointed bits.

Cheek piece

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference to other snaffles lies in the rings (e.g. eggbutt rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to a full cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth is a curb bit and the bradoon is jointed.
