Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the finest materials. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger TURNADO Weymouth Bradoon Stainless Steel Rust-Free Single-Jointed 14mm bit from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger TURNADO Weymouth Bradoon Stainless Steel Rust-Free Single-Jointed 14mm bit is made of stainless steel and features smaller side pieces as a bradoon for Weymouth bits. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14 millimeters at its thickest point, making it a rather medium-strength mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

Bradoons for Weymouth bits usually have a thickness of 12mm to 14mm.

When selecting 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 the palate.

Bit Material

Stainless steel

The most common material for bits is stainless steel. Stainless steel comes in different compositions and consists of steel and various metals. Steel, in turn, is iron that has been alloyed with carbon.

To obtain stainless steel, the steel is mixed with various metals to form different alloys. The most commonly used alloy for stainless steel bits consists of steel, chromium, and nickel.

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

The family-run business has been in existence since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether for boat fittings, stirrups, or bits. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, canine, and marine sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The Sprenger TURNADO Weymouth Bradoon Stainless Steel Rust-Free Single-Jointed 14mm has a 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 sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. A single-jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Side Piece

Bradoon

The bradoon is used in combination with a Weymouth bit. It is available in single and double-jointed mouthpiece variations. The difference from other bits lies in the rings (e.g., olive head rings), which are significantly smaller than the rings of normal bits. The bradoon is usually chosen half to one centimeter larger than the Weymouth, as the Weymouth is a solid bar and the bradoon is jointed.
