Sweet iron will rust when it comes into contact with (air) humidity; the surface rust tastes sweet and naturally stimulates the saliva production. This will cause the horse to salivate more which in turn encourages better acceptance of the bit. The rusting process (oxidation) changes the blue colour of the TRUST-bit to a brownish-grey.

 

If a sweet iron bit is not used for a while, an orange-brown rust layer may develop on the mouthpiece. Simply remove this by wiping the bit with a damp cloth.

Herm Sprenger KK Ultra Bradoon Bits have a three piece mouthpiece with a small, rotated center lozenge that has been anatomically designed to fit perfectly in the horse's mouth. The 14 mm version is the narrowest Herm Sprenger offers.

The design of the KK Ultra bit is the direct result of extensive anatomical research of the horse's mouth. It was discovered that the cavity of the horse's mouth where the bit sits is smaller than originally assumed. The KK Ultra Bit is designed with a shortened link set at a 45 degree angle to adapt to the anatomy of the horse's mouth, thus ensuring that when the reins are pulled, the round link rests fully on the tongue without squeezing it or applying pressure on the palate. This maximizes the tongue's sense of touch as clear instructions are given through the reins.

Herm Sprenger bits are available in different metals and offer two metals made specifically for use in horse bits; aurigan and sensogan.

 

Aurigan:

 

Special nickel free alloy which, due to the inclusion of silicon, combines the pleasant tasting oxidation advantages of pure copper with maximum strength

A perfect mixture of materials: 85% copper, 4% silicon, 11% zinc which encourages salivation and intensive chewing activity

USDF and FEI approved metal

Sensogan:

 

An alloy of copper, manganese and zinc that is an improvement on aurigan

Reduced copper content and the addition of manganese helps to regulate the oxidation process

May be a better choice for horses who salivate too much with a copper bit

Will keep its white gold color longer

Herm Sprenger German silver

 

A highly polished metal containing approximately 60% copper, 12-16% nickel and 18-22% zinc.

The Herm Sprenger KK Ultra Loose Ring Snaffle Bits are designed and adapted to the anatomy of the horse's mouth with no pressure put on the palate.

The Inno Sense bits come in three different models: soft, medium & hard. The mouthpieces are available in the versions; flexi, mullen and port. Bits from the Inno Sense line can be used for every horse and particularly suitable for young horses and/or horses with a sensitive mouth. The synthetic material is FDA approved, which means the material does not contain plasticizers and is non-toxic to people and animals. In addition, the flexi- and mullen model of the Inno Sense Bits line are solid because of the application of a core of stainless steel. Horses that are ridden with an Inno Sense Bit follow the hand easily and accept the bit smoothly.
