Sprenger Novocontact jointed loose ring 16mm Sensogan

This bit is a singel jointed loose ring with a special novocontact mouthpiece. This means the bit is oval and anatomically shaped which widens the contact surface of the tongue while the rider keeps steady contact. Single jointed novocontact bits are highly recommended for horses with a sensitive mouth that do not take the contact confidently.

The loose ring:

he loose ring is a basic bit wich can be used by experiencend and unexperiencend riders. The mouth piece can move independently from the rings. They are available in single jointed and double jointed vaiarities. The thinner the bit the more leverage the rider obtains.

The Sprenger novocontact bits:

novocontact bits are designed to create a unique oval shape which widens the contact surface on the tongue while the rider keeps a steady contact. As the rider gives a rein aid the mouthpiece turns forward and the contact surface gets narrower, ensuring more precise and effective communication. 
novocontact bits improve the interaction between horse and rider for a better contact and acceptance of the bit.

The Sprenger SENSOGAN bits:

The new bit material developed by Sprenger – is the result of additional development and consequently the improvement of our original material, Aurigan. We have built on the success and positive features of Aurigan, specifically the taste and salivation aspects to give an even more delicate and sophisticated connection to the horse. It is the distinctive composition of copper, manganese and zinc that makes SENSOGAN® so special. With a reduced copper content the oxidation process is still maintained, however, the extraordinary combination with manganese is what makes the difference. This combination results in a smoother and more regulated process of oxidation. Tests show a very positive influence on the horse’s satisfaction, motivation and willingness to perform. The copper discharge quantity into the horse’s saliva is reduced considerably, which helps to keep the noble white- gold colour for a longer time. The new ingredient manganese on the other hand is an important micronutrient. As a crucial component and activator of enzymes, manganese is highly relevant for building up connective tissue as well as for the muscle and energy metabolism. It can therefore be helpful in preventing muscle tension and in supporting stress reduction. Beyond that, manganese is needed for the reduction of histamine and can prevent allergic skin reactions. Also, the feed industry discovered manganese to be a promising food additive that is gaining in importance in modern feeding of sport horses.
