The Sprenger team continuously works on innovative products to further optimize the design and function of bits. Today we would like to present the Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 20mm from the Sprenger range in more detail:

The Sprenger Loose Ring Snaffle Sensogan Single Jointed 20mm bit is made of Sensogan and features loose rings as side pieces. The mouthpiece of this bit is single jointed.

Bit thickness

The mouthpiece has a thickness of 20mm at its thickest point. This makes it a rather thick mouthpiece.

Comparative values: normal warmbloods 16 - 18mm, ponies rather 10 - 14mm, thoroughbreds 12 - 16mm and particularly large warmbloods, cold-blooded horses 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.

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

Manufacturer Information

Sprenger

The family-run business has existed since 1872 and specializes in metal processing, be it boat fittings, stirrups or bridles. H.S. Sprenger is one of the most well-known manufacturers in the equestrian, dog and boating sports industries. The company stands for high quality standards and innovation. Examples include the development of the Aurigan and Sensogan metal alloys used for their bits.

Mouthpiece

Single jointed

The single jointed mouthpiece has a hinge in the middle, which exerts less pressure on the tongue than a double jointed mouthpiece. A single jointed mouthpiece primarily exerts pressure on the bars and 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.

Sidepiece

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 Sensogan Single Jointed 20mm is therefore a bit for horses that prefer a more "mobile" bit in their mouth.
