Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm

Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm

The bit is 18mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the horse's cheek area. This makes 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 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.

The Sprenger Development Team continuously works on innovative bits to further optimize their design and function. Today we would like to present the Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with full cheeks as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Full Cheek Bit

The full cheek bit combines the effect of a full cheek snaffle and a loose ring snaffle. The full cheek snaffle limits the horse laterally and gives it stability, and also prevents the bit rings from slipping through. The full cheek bit is connected to the bridle via cheek pieces that are threaded through the bit rings. This creates a leverage effect depending on the degree of rein uptake.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm has a joint in the middle, 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 common.

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 metered oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.
