The Sprenger team is continuously working on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm from the Sprenger range in a little more detail today:

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm bit is made of Sensogan and features loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest point, making it 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 selecting bit thickness and size, pay attention to the anatomical conditions of the horse's mouth. You can test how much space there is between the tongue and palate with your fingers.

Bit Material

Sensogan Copper, manganese, and zinc are the components of Sprenger's Sensogan alloy. 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 dosed 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, canine, and boating sports industries. The company stands for high-quality standards and innovation.

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 applies pressure to 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.

Cheekpiece

Loose ring snaffle

A loose running ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Single Jointed Sensogan 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
