The Sprenger bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. We would like to introduce the Sprenger WH Ultra Snaffle Bit double jointed 18mm Aurigan 18mm from the Sprenger range in more detail today:

The Sprenger WH Ultra Snaffle Bit double jointed 18mm Aurigan 18mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring sidepieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 18 millimeters at its thickest point. It is therefore a medium-thick mouthpiece.

Comparison values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, draft horses and Shire Horses rather 18mm and larger.

When choosing 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.

Bit material

Aurigan

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

Manufacturer information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, whether boat fittings, stirrups or snaffles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most famous manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and water sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples of this are the development of the metal alloys Aurigan and Sensogan, which are used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

double jointed

A double jointed mouthpiece is a standard mouthpiece. This mouthpiece has two joints, is shaped more towards the mouth and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, the bars and the corners of the mouth. This bit should not be used on horses with narrow lower jaws. The hinge points can press on the bars, which can lead to sores. Compared to a single jointed bit, this bit exerts more pressure on the tongue.

Sidepiece

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 WH Ultra Snaffle Bit double jointed 18mm Aurigan 18mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
