Sprenger Aurigan Single Joint Loose Ring Snaffle 14mm

Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 14mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 14mm at its thickest point. This makes it a moderately strong 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 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.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the best materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 14mm from the Sprenger range in a little more detail today:

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

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 Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single Jointed 14mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single Jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge 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. A single jointed mouthpiece is an absolute standard mouthpiece and very widely used.

Bit Material

Aurigan

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