KK ULTRA double jointed snaffle 14 mm thickess with a Sensogan mouth piece
Anatomically-constructed mouthpiece, middle link shortened and angled forward 45°, offers marked improvement versus traditional double-jointed bits; facilitates giving more refined and delicate cues, augmenting rider-horse contact. KK ULTRA bits are groundbreaking, borne of scientific study.
The unique, precise effect of the Sprenger KK Ultra is produced by the 45° angle of the middle link. Utilizing this bit correctly can build the horse's trust in the rider, making it an invaluable tool used in various disciplines and training levels all over the world. Moreover, the middle link is shorter than most conventional bits.
This structure of the bit significantly enhances the effect when compared to traditional double joint designs. When the reins are used, the middle link (more commonly known as the “lozenge” because of its unique shape) carefully slides over the center of the horse’s tongue, eliciting its sensory response. The joining rings to the middle piece move gracefully across the tongue without applying any pressure.
Scientific research: The development of the KK ULTRA bits is based on the results of a measurement of mouth cavities of horses initiated by SPRENGER, carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. This investigation resulted in groundbreaking knowledge about the space conditions and the position of bits in the horse‘s mouth. In short, the sensitive horse mouth offers little space for a bit. This space has to be used by anatomical adjustments in such a way that a comfortable and effective rein aid is possible for the rider.
