The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and effectiveness of their bits. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger WH Ultra Soft Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm from the Sprenger range:

The bit Sprenger WH Ultra Soft Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm is made of Sensogan and features loose ring cheekpieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed. The hardness of the mouthpiece material is rather soft, meaning flexible.

Bit Thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 16mm at its widest 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 typically 10mm to 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 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 metered 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

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a very common mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies somewhat looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars, and the corners of the mouth. Caution with narrow lower jaws! The joints can press on the bars with a narrow lower jaw. The double jointed bit exerts more pressure on the tongue compared to single jointed bits.

Cheekpiece

Loose Ring Snaffle

A freely moving ring characterizes a loose ring snaffle. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger WH Ultra Soft Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a "more mobile" bit in the mouth.
