Description

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 genuine all-round talent!
Compared to conventional bits, the middle link has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimises the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.
When the 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 KK ULTRA Universal bit is a versatile choice due to the different rein attachment options. Depending on the ring in which the reins are attached, the impact on tongue and poll can be increased individually. This makes the bit suitable for horses with strong go that tend to pull upwards.

The use of a curb strap will limit the poll pressure and additionally acts upon the lower jaw.

Due to the concise impact of the bit, it is recommended for riders with a soft hand. The rider can decide whether to ride with one or two reins.

Material & care

How do I care for my Sensogan bits?

You should always wash your bits thoroughly with water and dry them after each use. SENSOGAN bits contain copper. Oxidation causes the bits to darken and may lose their shine. However, metal bits are particularly easy to clean and maintain with the help of our "Diamond Paste".

Sensogan

Alloy of copper, manganese and zinc. Manganese hardens the copper without affecting the natural oxidation process of the copper. Thanks to the manganese, the alloy has a lower copper content but achieves the same oxidation behavior as AURIGAN.

the best possible control

when you need it

What exactly is a leverage effect - and how does it occur in the horse's mouth? If you choose a bit with a lever action, the pressure created by the rein action is distributed over several points of action on the horse's head - for example, on the neck. If, for example, you need the greatest possible control on the course, this effect can be useful in order to keep in communication with your horse even if he wants to ignore your aids. It is very important to note that these types of bits are only designed to be used with educated hands and specific riding situations.

Leverage

An educated & experienced hand is necessary here! Because leverage bits allow the rider to apply pressure to the horse's sensitive neck, we recommend these models only for experienced riders. You should have a balanced seat and independent hand, If your horse tends to have a rather low head posture or resists the aids downward, bits with lever action are rather counterproductive. They are more suitable for horses that evade the rider's aids by strongly lifting upwards.

Light neck pressure for concise communication

Multi-, 3-ring and gag bit: all these models have one thing in common: the pressure created by the pull of the reins is first distributed via the tongue to the lower jaw and finally to the neck. In this way, they promise better control, for example, while you are mastering a course with your horse. This is because, when your horse withdraws with his head up, the action on the nape of the neck allows you to regain communication with your horse.

double rein

double precision

With 3-ring bits, the pressure that acts on the horse's neck can be controlled through the use of a chin strap and/or multiple reins. Why? Because the leverage is greater due to the length of the side piece. That's why you can ideally use the 3-ring bit with two pairs of reins. This way you only influence the tongue and lower jaw with the main rein in the big ring. The second pair of reins, strapped in the lower ring, can exert pressure on the neck via the cheek piece as needed. However, the important prerequisite for this is a sensitive rider's hand. Therefore we do not recommend this bit if you are inexperienced or unbalanced.

Your choice

for temperamental horses

The 3-ring bit is probably one of the most versatile models because of different options of the rein placement Because the mouthpiece can slide freely in the ring - just as it does with a lose ring snaffle the rider can control the pressure on the neck independently of the pressure on the tongue. This feature has proven to be an advantage, especially with very temperamental horses that are sensitive to the constriction of the tongue. Whenever you have to act more strongly with your hand, does your horse shake his head or go against the reins all the more? Then this bit could be what you are looking for.

Double

all-rounder

Double-jointed bits - just like their single-jointed counterpart - are used in a wide variety of areas, disciplines and performance levels. In contrast to the single-jointed bit, the pressure is distributed over a larger area of the tongue. Sensitive horses often show positive reactions to this large-area pressure distribution.

A half centimeter

for the perfect fit

We'll start in order: If you want to check if your horse's bit is big enough, you should take a look at the mouth angles while the reins are not tightened. If the bit has loose rings, when fitted correctly, there should be no more than half an inch of space between the mouth angle and the bit ring. Also make sure that the ring is always free to move and does not pinch the mouth angle.
