Sprenger Jumping Gag Bit Stainless Steel Straight Bar with Tongue Port 16mm

Sprenger Weymouth Bit Stainless Steel with Ported Bar 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately thick 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 require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is generally suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test 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 Weymouth Bit Stainless Steel with Ported Bar 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Weymouth Bit

The Weymouth bit combines leverage on the lower jaw branches, pressure on the poll, and a change in the bit's position in the horse's mouth. The Weymouth allows for three different attachment options, enabling a well-dosed use of the bit. The stable side pieces ensure a quiet position in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Bars with Tongue Port

The bar with a tongue port provides space for the tongue, thus reducing pressure on the middle of the horse's tongue. More tongue relief is ideal for horses with sensitive tongues or horses that stick out their tongues. This bit is not suitable for inexperienced riders.

Bit Material

Stainless Steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.
