Sprenger Novocontact Snaffle Bit Single Joint Sensogan 12mm

Sprenger Novocontact Weymouth Bradoon single-jointed Sensogan 12mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a rather thin mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

Weymouth bradoons 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 test with your fingers how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Novocontact Weymouth Bradoon single-jointed Sensogan 12mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger Novocontact Weymouth Bradoon single-jointed Sensogan 12mm bit is made of Sensogan and equipped with smaller side parts as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

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 sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single-jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market. 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 whole cm larger than the Weymouth bit, as the Weymouth is a curb bit and the bradoon is jointed.

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