Sprenger Aurigan Single Jointed Snaffle Bit 18mm Curved

Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 18mm Curved

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point. This makes it a rather 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 stronger 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 use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and the palate.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and made from the most suitable materials. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 18mm Curved from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 18mm Curved is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Loose Ring Snaffle

A loose ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 18mm Curved is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single-Jointed

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 18mm Curved 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.

Bit Material

Aurigan

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