About Sprenger horse bits
Sprenger is known for anatomically shaped bits that balance precise, clear aids with comfort—helping horses accept a soft, steady connection in training and in the show ring.
Why riders choose Sprenger
Flagship designs like KK Ultra, Dynamic RS, and novocontact are engineered to sit correctly between tongue and palate, promoting even pressure and confident contact for sensitive youngsters and seasoned campaigners alike.
Key technologies: KK Ultra, Dynamic RS, novocontact
KK Ultra features a 45° angled center lozenge for precise, palate-friendly feel; Dynamic RS adds an ergonomic curve for more even pressure; novocontact uses an oval surface that widens tongue contact for a soft yet clear influence.
Materials: Sensogan and stainless steel
Sensogan—Sprenger’s copper-based alloy—encourages salivation and acceptance and is easier to maintain than older copper alloys; classic stainless steel delivers a familiar, crisp feel and long-term durability.
Choosing cheeks and mouthpieces
Loose ring increases mobility and feel; eggbutt or D-ring add stability; full cheek supports lateral guidance. For stronger horses, Pelham, universal, or gag styles add measured leverage—always matched to educated hands and your rulebook.
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 can suit small mouths or low palates; moderate thickness often feels milder if the bit sits quietly.
Care & maintenance
Rinse after every ride and deep-clean joints periodically. Copper-rich alloys may darken—polish as needed—while stainless steel wipes clean quickly.
