A KK Ultra loose ring snaffle with a 16 mm mouthpiece, in Sensogan.

Herm Sprenger developed the KK Ultra from measurements of horses' mouth cavities taken with the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. That research found the sensitive horse mouth offers very little space for a bit, and the KK Ultra's shape is the answer to that constraint. The middle link sits at a 45 degree angle and is shortened compared with conventional double-jointed bits, so the mouthpiece is adapted to the anatomy of the mouth rather than to the outside of it.

Specifications:

  • 16 mm mouthpiece
  • Sensogan
  • Double jointed with a 45° angled center link
  • Shortened middle link
  • Loose ring
  • Sizes 5.25 and 5.75 inches

What sets this one apart:

The mouthpiece is 16 mm, thick enough to spread rein pressure over a wider surface, which asks for a mouth with room to take it. The middle link is shortened and set at a 45 degree angle, so the mouthpiece follows the anatomy of the mouth rather than the outside of it. Sizes are 5.25 and 5.75 inches.

Why it is here:

The research. Herm Sprenger developed this shape from mouth-cavity measurements taken with the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover, and publishes that as the basis for the shortened, forward-angled center link.
