Sprenger Aurigan 16mm Loose Ring Snaffle

Sprenger Weymouth Bit Aurigan 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point, making 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, cold-blooded 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.

Sprenger bits are selected with the greatest care and made from the most suitable materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Weymouth Bit Aurigan 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Weymouth Bit Aurigan 16mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is a straight bar.

Cheeks

Loose Ring Bit

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring bit. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Weymouth Bit Aurigan 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Weymouth Bits

A straight bar is usually straight or slightly curved to adapt to the anatomical conditions in the horse's mouth. A straight bar mouthpiece has a sharper effect than a single-jointed or double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Aurigan

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