Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Stainless Steel Single Jointed 16mm

Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Single Jointed 16mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16 millimeters at its thickest point. So it's more of a medium-strength 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 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 features 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 utmost care and made from the best materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Single Jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

Bit Thickness

Side Piece

Full Cheek Snaffle

The full cheek snaffle lies very quietly and stably in the mouth. It provides reliable lateral confinement without the risk of pinching skin and lips due to the angled bars. This bit is suitable for horses that need clear lateral support and guidance when turning.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The Sprenger Turnado Full Cheek Snaffle Bit Stainless Steel Rustproof Single Jointed 16mm has a single joint in the middle, which exerts 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. The single jointed mouthpiece is the most popular mouthpiece on the market.
