About Sprenger
Sprenger is a leader in innovative, horse-friendly bits that balance precise communication with comfort. From everyday snaffles to specialist designs, their anatomically-shaped mouthpieces help riders develop a steadier, more confident contact.
Why riders choose Sprenger bits
Signature technologies such as KK Ultra (with a 45° angled centre lozenge), Dynamic RS (ergonomic shaping) and novocontact (oval, tongue-friendly surface) are engineered to sit correctly in the mouth and deliver clear, gentle aids—ideal for training and competition.
Materials that support acceptance
Sensogan (Sprenger’s copper-based alloy) is designed to encourage salivation and bit acceptance, while classic stainless steel offers a familiar, crisp feel. Sensogan’s composition also reduces tarnishing compared with older copper alloys, helping day-to-day care.
Choosing your cheek and mouthpiece
Loose ring offers mobility and a livelier feel; eggbutt or D-ring add stability at the lips; full cheek improves lateral guidance. For stronger horses, Pelham, universal or gag styles introduce measured leverage—always matched to educated hands and your discipline’s rules.
Fit and thickness
Measure width between the inside edges of the rings/cheeks, allowing slight clearance at the lips. Match thickness to your horse’s mouth conformation: thinner profiles can suit smaller mouths or low palates; moderate thickness often feels milder provided the bit sits quietly.
Care and maintenance
Rinse after each ride, deep-clean periodically (especially around joints) and gently clean any covered or synthetic surfaces. Copper-rich alloys may darken over time—polish as needed—while stainless steel simply wipes clean.
