When used correctly- the horse s confidence in the rider s hand is enhanced- which is why these bits are used successfully worldwide in all disciplines and across all training levels a true all-round talent!Compared to conventional bits- the middle link has also been shortened. This anatomical adaptation noticeably optimises the effect compared to conventional double jointed bits.When the reins are taken up- the middle link also known as the lozenge because of its striking shape gently rolls over the central part of the horse s tongue- stimulating its sense of touch. The connecting rings to the middle piece roll softly over the tongue without exerting pressure.Scientific research:The development of the KK ULTRA bits is based on the results of a measurement of mouth cavities of horses initiated by SPRENGER- carried out by the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover. This investigation resulted in groundbreaking knowledge about the space conditions and the position of bits in the horse s mouth. In short- the sensitive horse mouth offers little space for a bit. This space has to be used by anatomical adjustments in such a way that a comfortable and effective rein aid is possible for the rider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the KK Ultra Kimblewick different from a conventional double-jointed bit?
The KK Ultra Kimblewick features a 45-degree angled middle link (lozenge) that has been shortened compared to conventional double-jointed bits. This anatomical adaptation means the middle link rolls gently over the central part of the horse's tongue when the reins are taken up, stimulating the sense of touch rather than exerting pressure, and the connecting rings to the middle piece also roll softly over the tongue.
How does the KK Ultra Kimblewick compare to a Pelham in terms of lever action?
According to Sprenger, the KK Ultra Kimblewick has a slightly lower lever action in comparison to a Pelham, while still enabling precise and effective aids acting on the tongue, poll, and lower jaw.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this bit?
The KK Ultra Kimblewick has a 16 mm mouthpiece.
What material is the mouthpiece made from?
The mouthpiece is made from Sensogan, which is Sprenger's proprietary mouth-piece material described as mouth- and tongue-friendly.
Is the KK Ultra bit design based on scientific research?
Yes. Sprenger commissioned the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover to carry out measurements of horses' mouth cavities. The findings informed the anatomical design of the KK Ultra range, specifically addressing the limited space within the horse's mouth to allow for comfortable and effective rein aids.
Is the KK Ultra Kimblewick suitable for use across different disciplines and training levels?
Sprenger states that KK Ultra bits are used successfully worldwide across all disciplines and all training levels, describing them as a true all-round talent.
