SPRENGER & Ingrid Klimke KK ULTRA bradoon - Sensogan

The term "Loose ring snaffle" is one of the most common bit terms heard in a range of riding programs due to its popularity as an “all around bit”. When the reins are tightened, the pressure is transferred to the horse's lower jaw via the tongue. Loose Ring snaffles are generally suitable for a variety of horses and every level of training, because the movable rings can also cushion a somewhat unsteady rider's hand to some extent. No matter whether you are a beginner or a professional, whether you are just starting your horse or schooling high level dressage movements, the loose ring snaffle is the "basic" par excellence.

To simplify the search for the right size of snaffle and bradoon, it helps to take a closer look at the anatomy of the horse's mouth: The weymouth lies below the bradoon in the horse's mouth. At this point the mouth usually becomes narrower. It is therefore advisable to choose a curb bit that is about half a centimeter to one centimeter smaller than the bridle. In order to achieve the best effect, its sides should be close to the corner of the mouth, but should never pinch it. For the choice of the bit, you can use your everyday snaffle as a guide, provided that your horse is happy with this bit. The bit should be similar in shape and width to the standard snaffle.
