When selecting the bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and 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 Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 18mm bit is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring cheeks, i.e. rings. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two free-moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 18mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

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 exerts pressure on the bars and sides of the tongue and can also affect the palate. The single jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common of all mouthpieces, alongside the double jointed mouthpiece.

Bit material

Aurigan

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