5 1/8″ Herm Sprenger WH Ultra Soft Snaffle

Herm Sprenger snaffles are our favorite bits here at Brassy! If we needed another personal bit, this one would call our tack room home. This 5 1/8″, new with tags, from one of the most popular line of bits from HS. This one was custom ordered without the rubber center, to have a bit more rotation in the center, with the center link acting more like a dog bone rather than a French Link or lozenge. Per Herm Sprenger:

Sprenger WH Ultra bits are designed by Lisa Wilcox & Ernest Hoyos together with Sprenger. This bit provides gentle stimulation to the tongue area, encouraging the horse to chew prompting salivation. This allows acceptance of the bit; therefore the horse relaxes the jaw helping the horse to learn more quickly to accept the bit resulting in them softening their entire top line which in turn enables them to perform the movements with more relaxation throughness & ultimately more harmony. The KK mouthpiece with the middle link is turned forward by 45 degrees provides gentle but effective communication with the horse. The additional feature of the WH Ultra bits is the unique roller in the centre section that brings an even better focus for the horse onto the tongue. The WH Ultra is highly recommended for horses that are unresponsive to the rein aids. The tongue is gently stimulated to utilize its highly sensitive sense of touch in an incomparable way. The horse becomes relaxed and remains focused. preventing easy distractions and in turn becomes more responsive to the rein aid. The end result is complete harmony. The centre section of the WH Ultra Soft is provided with a soft but tough rubber cover. This helps to introduce the horse more easily to the bit. The aids given with the reins are carefully directed to the horses tongue resulting in prompt chewing activity causing relaxed & concentrated horses. This bit can help to prevent tongue problems and teeth grinding in an idea way. It is also brilliant to introduce young horses to the bit & also for older horses that may be ‘bit shy’ & need more relaxation.
