Sprenger KK Ultra Universal 16mm

Sprenger KK Ultra Universal 16mm is a practical choice in the bits category. KK ULTRA bits are the pioneers of modern bits because they have been developed on the basis of scientific research. They achieve their unique, precise effect through the special 45° angle of the middle link. When used correctly, the horse’s confidence in the rider’s hand is enhanced, which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all training levels – a true everyday talent! Compared to conventional bits, the middle link has also been shortened. This ergonomic adaptation noticeably optimises the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits. When the riding reins are taken up, the middle link – also known as the “lozenge” because of its striking shape – gently rolls over the central part of the horse’s tongue, stimulating its sense of touch. The connecting rings to the middle piece roll softly over the tongue without exerting 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 provides little space for a bit. This space has to be used by ergonomic adjustments in such a way that a easy to wear and reliable rein assist is possible for the rider. Includes: With practical design details, anatomically adapted mouthpiece, middle link shortened and angled forward by 45° supports get more control over reliable horses that evade upwards extremely multi-purpose - provides 4 different rein options depending on how the riding reins are being attached varying degrees of lever action intensify the rider‘s assists With practical design details, using a curb strap can limit the poll pressure and additionally acts onto the lower jaw With practical design details, the lever action has a slight delay due to the lateral offset position of the upper ring
