Sprenger Aurigan Single Jointed Snaffle Bit 20mm

Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 20mm

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its widest point. It is therefore a rather thick 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 the palate.

Sprenger bits are selected with the utmost care and manufactured from the most suitable materials. Today, we would like to introduce you to the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 20mm from the Sprenger range:

The bit Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 20mm is made of Aurigan and equipped with loose ring cheeks. The mouthpiece of this bit is single-jointed.

Bit Thickness

Cheek Piece

Loose Ring Snaffle

The loose ring snaffle has two loose rings at each end. A movable ring means greater mobility of the bit in the mouth. The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 20mm is therefore ideal for beginners and horses that are somewhat inactive in the mouth.

Mouthpiece

Single-jointed

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Aurigan Single-Jointed 20mm has a joint in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double-jointed mouthpiece. A single-jointed mouthpiece mainly 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 of all mouthpieces, alongside the double-jointed mouthpiece.

Bit Material

Aurigan

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