Sprenger range of bits, and sundries
KK Conrad Ultra Bits take advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of the tongue.
Sprenger in collaboration with the University of Hannover researched and analysed measurements of over 70 horses heads.
Their results ;
* The interior volume of the mouth was less than had been previously thought.
* The palate was both smaller and very often flatter than previously imagined.
* The space available for a bit is therefore very limited.
Sprenger used this information to develop the ULTRA Range with the aim to improve the bits without increasing severity.
Key features ;
* As the palate is narrower than originally assumed the lozenge in the centre was shortened ( no pressure on the palate ).
* The angle of the link was twisted by 45 degrees. This ensures that when the reins are applied the rounded link rests fully on the tongue without squeezing it.
* The tongue's sense of touch is fully utilised and clear instructions are given through the reins.
