4.75″ Herm Sprenger KK Conrad Ported Loose Ring Snaffle

This is one of the most unique snaffles from Herm Sprenger, and is a great mild correction option for a snaffle and has the same square, ported mouth as Herm Sprenger’s Weymouth curbs. For a horse who is picky about consistent mouth pieces, this is perfect! From Herm Sprenger’s KK Conrad line of bits, with standard loose rings, slightly thinner diameter mouth (looks to be 14mm) with a wider, square ported mouth. Made from Herm Sprenger’s Aurigan material which promotes salivation. Great, smaller size at 4.75″–these bits are hard to find and even harder in small mouths like this!  In excellent used condition, showing very minor and shallow teeth marking. This isn’t a bit you see very often anymore! **please note, these bits are measured hole to hole, not ring to ring** Per Herm Sprenger:

Made from Herm Sprenger’s Aurigan material, which promotes a delicate and sensitive connection to the horse. It instills a pleasant taste, encourages salivation and promotes bit acceptance. Distinctively unique, this metal is a propriety blend of copper, zinc and manganese. A reduced copper content allows some oxidation to occur, but the addition of manganese regulates and slows oxidation which in turn slows discoloration. Manganese is also an important micronutrient for horses, as a crucial component and activator of enzymes.
