The Sprenger bit range provides gentle yet effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is made of Sensogan and features loose ring snaffle cheek pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters 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 more likely to be between 10mm and 14mm. Very large warmbloods, cold-bloods 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 features of the horse's mouth. You can use your fingers to test how much space there is between the tongue and 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 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, dog, and boating sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the metal alloys Aurigan and Sensogan, which are used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

single jointed

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm has one joint in the middle, which puts 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. The single-jointed mouthpiece is certainly the most common mouthpiece, alongside the double-jointed one.

Cheek Piece

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 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit Sensogan Single Jointed 18mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.
