The Sprenger development team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Aurigan single-jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Aurigan single-jointed 16mm is made of Aurigan and features loose ring snaffle cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a medium-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 usually suitable for a pony.

When choosing the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical characteristics of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and palate.

Bit Material

Aurigan

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

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

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 renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and boating 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 applies pressure to the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Cheek Piece

Loose ring snaffle

A loose, freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Aurigan single-jointed 16mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
