Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Olive head

Olive head bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a little more stability in the mouth, which means that the Sprenger Olive Head Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 16mm lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which applies less pressure to 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. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very common.

Bit Material

Aurigan

Aurigan consists of 85% copper, silicon, and zinc. To keep copper nickel-free, more complex manufacturing steps are necessary, which make the material more expensive, which is why Sprenger's Aurigan bits are higher priced than bits made of stainless steel or Argentan.
