Sprenger's bit assortment provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The bit Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is made of Sensogan and equipped with loose rings as cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18mm 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 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 conditions 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

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 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 it's boat fittings, stirrups, or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most renowned manufacturers in the equestrian, dog, and boating 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 Loose Ring Snaffle 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 mainly 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.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two freely moving rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Turnado Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
