Here is one of our favorite bits, on our favorite color! This ‘brassy’ bit is from Herm Sprenger and is a KK single jointed NovoContact loose ring snaffle in a 5″, in a slightly thicker diameter, likely a 16mm, designed for horses who have a narrower palate and desire a bit more substance to their bit. Aurigan mouthpiece encourages salvation and bit acceptance. In very good used condition, showing just a couple of shallow/minor teeth marks. Standard ring. Per Herm Sprenger:
The Herm Sprenger novocontact Single Jointed Loose Ring Bit is uniquely shaped and especially sensitive, ensuring precise and effective communication to improve the interaction between horse and riders for better contact and acceptance of the bit. The oval shaped mouth increases surface area on the tongue and bars without taking up extra space in the mouth (like a typical round-shaped bit does). This unique oval shape of the novocontact bit creates a soft, wide surface area impact with normal contact and intensifies the impact as stronger reins aids are applied (rolling the bit forward, making the surface area narrower).
Herm Sprenger novocontact single jointed bitsare recommended for horses with a sensitive mouth that aren’t confident about taking contact.
