The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether for boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and marine sports industries. The company stands for high-quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the metal alloys Aurigan and Sensogan, which are used for their bits.

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 sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. Alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece, the single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces.

Cheek Piece

Eggbutt

Eggbutt bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. The fixed rings provide slightly more stability in the mouth, which means that the Sprenger Eggbutt Snaffle Bit, Single Jointed, Stainless Steel, Rustproof, 18mm lies more quietly in the horse's mouth.
