The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Bit, Single-Jointed, Sensogan, 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose rings as sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather medium-thick mouthpiece.

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

When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical features 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 characterized by high compatibility.

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes 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, canine, and boating sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

A single-jointed bit has one hinge point, 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. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Sidepiece

Loose Ring

Loose ring bits have fixed, oval-shaped rings at the ends. These provide a bit more stability in the mouth, which means that the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Bit, Single-Jointed, Sensogan, 16mm lies more calmly in the horse's mouth.
