SPRENGER TURNADO bits
The SPRENGER TURNADO bits are the perfect choice for riders who prefer an even distribution of pressure in the horse's mouth and want to avoid the unpleasant nutcracker effect. Whether as a classic loose ring snaffle, full cheek snaffle, eggbut bit or 3-ring bit - the single jointed bits from the TURNADO series offer you and your horse optimum comfort and maximum functionality. Available in high-quality stainless steel or the tried and tested SENSOGAN, the TURNADO bit adapts perfectly to your horse's needs.
Sandblasting on the SPRENGER TURNADO bit
The special feature of the TURNADO bit is the 45° forward angled joint, which is emphasized by the sandblasting. This ensures that the pressure is distributed evenly on both sides of your horse's tongue. In contrast to conventional single jointed bits, which have uneven contact surfaces due to the different lengths of the bit shanks, the SPRENGER TURNADO guarantees even contact on the tongue. This eliminates the need to turn the bit regularly. This innovative technique also helps to counteract the horse's natural crookedness and promotes harmonious interaction between you and your horse.
Nutcracker effect with the bit
The so-called nutcracker effect can occur with single jointed bits when the bit straightens up and presses into your horse's palate when the reins are pulled harder. The TURNADO bits from SPRENGER specifically prevent this problem. Thanks to the 45° inclination of the joint, the bit eyelets lie flat on the tongue and thus prevent punctual pressure on the tongue and palate. This ingenious design can also be found in other SPRENGER bit lines, such as Dynamic RS, KK ULTRA, Pronamic, WH ULTRAand the NATHE bits. Among these SPRENGER bits you will also find double jointed bits if horse prefers a more even distribution of pressure over the tongue.
TURNADO stainless steel or SENSOGAN bits
TURNADO bits are available in both stainless steel and the innovative SENSOGAN alloy. While stainless steel is known for its durability and robustness, SENSOGAN offers additional benefits for your horse. The alloy of copper, manganese, and zinc stimulates the flow of saliva, which promotes chewing and relaxes the jaw muscles. These chewing movements have a positive effect on the topline and contribute to the general relaxation of your horse. Horses particularly like the SPRENGER SENSOGAN TURNADO loose ring snaffle due to its pleasant material.
