Sprenger Novocontact Single Jointed Loose Ring Snaffle 16mm Bit

• Ideal for sensitive horses
• Encourages a steady contact
• Single joint
• Sensogan mouthpiece with stainless steel sides
• 16mm thickness
• 70mm ring diameter
• Sprenger branding

The Sprenger Novocontact Single Jointed Loose Ring Snaffle has a unique shape that's ideal for horses with a sensitive mouth that do not take the contact confidently. Novocontact bits are designed to create a unique oval shape which increases the surface area of the bit that is in contact with the tongue while the rider keeps a steady contact. As the rider gives a rein aid the mouthpiece turns forward and the contact surface gets narrower, ensuring more precise and effective communication. Sprenger Novocontact bits improve the interaction between horse and rider for a better contact and acceptance of the bit.
