Sprenger Sensogan KK Ultra Kimblewick Bit

The Sprenger KK Ultra Kimblewick is the ideal choice for strong, speedy ponies with young riders on board allowing for enhanced communication; this bit is extremely popular in the jumping ring and cross country.

The Sprenger KK Ultra Kimblewick provides both poll and curb action; this bit features a central lozenge also known as a bean. This central lozenge is set at 45 degrees forward which means that it sits comfortably and evenly on the tongue. As the bean sits evenly on the centre of the tongue, once contact is taken up, the bean takes advantage of the sensitivity of the tongue and applies pressure allowing for enhanced communication. The unique design prevents upper palate interference and ensures that the tongue does not become pinched or squeezed. Unlike a Pelham, the Kimblewick results in far lesser poll pressure due to the shorter D shaped cheeks of the bit. The Kimblewick should be ridden with two reins for rein clarity.

The Sprenger KK Ultra lozenge takes advantage of the sensitivity of the tongue ensuring there is no risk of pinching. The mouthpiece is anatomically to follow the contours of the horses tongue and is designed to help promote consistency and rein aid clarity. Combined with the running gag cheek, this bit ensures that the feel in the mouth remains soft whilst providing the rider with great lift, helping to get the horse back and off the forehand.

Available in Sensogan or Aurigan in 16mm thickness.

If you are unsure which Sprenger material to go for, you may find this useful:

Sensogan – the new and improved version of Aurigan made from copper, zinc and manganese. Sensogan utilises the favourable taste and salivation levels provided by Aurgian but builds on these for improved feel and acceptance. Sensogan is a revolutionary new material designed for maximum comfort and relaxation. The main difference offered by Sensogan is due to the unique combination of copper and manganese which results in a smoother and far more regulated oxidative process which has proven very appealing to the horse in field tests; particularly if you have a horse who over-plays with the bit. This revolutionary compound has resulted in less copper discharge helping the bit retain its white-gold colouration for longer. The huge success of Sensogan is also due to its manganese content; this micro nutrient is extremely popular in the feeding regime of sports horses as tests have concluded that manganese aids in muscle and energy metabolism. Furthermore, feeding manganese has resulted in a reduction in tension in horses and we are finding that tense horses are far more relaxed in the mouth when ridden in Sensogan.

Aurigan – made from 85% copper, 4% nickel with zinc, Aurigan offers superb oxidative properties. It has always been a firm favourite amongst riders for enhancing feel and comfort in the horse’s mouth. Aurigan promotes optimum salivation and acceptance of the bit. Due to the solid cat design of Aurigan, the bit will tarnish as it naturally oxidises with the air. This bit is not British Dressage legal.

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

We want to be crystal clear when it comes to managing your expectations; our website is stock managed to show you what items are available for same day dispatch and those which are externally warehoused and therefore, will take a little longer to arrive with you.

Simply make your product selections and a message will pop up telling you how long it will take us to dispatch your order; we call this our product availability message.  If you are happy with the product availability message on the item, checkout your order and we will ship your order in the timeframe stated.

If you have lots of items in your basket, please use the longest product availability message to work out when your order will arrive.  We care about our environmental impact, so we don't split ship orders unless you get in touch to request that we do so.  We will let you know on your order confirmation when we expect your order will arrive with you.

Which couriers do you use?
