The Sprenger bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 16mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose ring snaffle cheekpieces, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

For comparison, the standard thickness for a normal warmblood is between 16mm and 18mm. For ponies, this value is more in the range of 10mm to 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses, and Shire Horses usually require a bit thicker than 18mm. A thickness of 12mm is usually suitable for a pony.

When selecting 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.

Bit material

Sensogan

The material mix Sensogan 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 causes a controlled oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.

Manufacturer information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether boat fittings, stirrups, or bits. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog, and water 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 puts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily applies pressure to the bars and the sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Turnado 2-Type Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 16mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
