Sprenger novocontact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Jointed - Sensogan

Sprenger novocontact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Joint - Sensogan

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 12mm at its thickest point. So it's rather a thin 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, draft horses, 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.

The Sprenger development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger novocontact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Joint - Sensogan from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger novocontact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Joint - Sensogan is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring sides. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

Side Piece

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 Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Joint - Sensogan is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The Sprenger novocontact Loose Ring Snaffle 12 mm Single Joint - Sensogan has a joint in the middle, which puts 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 the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

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 leads to a controlled oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.
