Sprenger WH Ultra Snaffle Bit Sensogan Double Jointed 16mm

Sprenger WH Ultra Sensogan Double Jointed Snaffle Bit 16mm

The bit is 16mm thick, measured at the thickest point in the area of the horse's commissure. This makes it a moderately strong mouthpiece.

Reference values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm, and particularly large warmbloods, cold-bloods and Shire horses rather 18mm and larger.

When selecting 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 palate.

The Sprenger bit range provides soft but effective impulses for better communication between rider and horse. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger WH Ultra Sensogan Double Jointed Snaffle Bit 16mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger WH Ultra Sensogan Double Jointed Snaffle Bit 16mm is made of Sensogan and features loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is double jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Loose ring snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two free-running rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger WH Ultra Sensogan Double Jointed Snaffle Bit 16mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.

Mouthpiece

Double Jointed

Double-jointed mouthpieces are suitable for many horses. This mouthpiece has two hinges, is more shaped towards the mouth, and lies a little looser in the horse's mouth. This bit exerts pressure on the tongue, bars, and 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.

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 controlled oxidation process that promotes chewing activity. Sprenger's Sensogan bits are characterized by high compatibility.
