About Sprenger horse bits
Sprenger leads in anatomically shaped bits that balance clear, precise aids with comfort, helping horses accept a soft, steady contact in daily schooling and in the ring.
Why riders choose Sprenger
Signature designs like KK Ultra, Dynamic RS and novocontact are engineered to sit correctly between tongue and palate, supporting even pressure and clear communication for sensitive or green horses as well as seasoned competitors.
Key technologies: KK Ultra, Dynamic RS, novocontact
KK Ultra uses a centre lozenge angled at 45° for precise, palate-friendly feel; Dynamic RS adds an ergonomic curve for an even pressure spread; novocontact features an oval surface that widens tongue contact for a soft yet clear influence.
Materials: Sensogan and stainless steel
Sensogan—Sprenger’s copper-based alloy—promotes salivation and bit acceptance with easier care than older copper alloys; classic stainless steel provides a crisp, familiar feel and long-term durability.
Choosing cheeks and mouthpieces
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 with slight clearance at the lips. Match thickness to mouth conformation: thinner profiles can suit small mouths or low palates; moderate thickness often feels milder if the bit sits quietly.
Care and maintenance
Rinse after each ride and periodically deep-clean around joints. Copper-rich alloys may darken—polish as needed—while stainless steel wipes clean quickly.
