Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Novocontact mouthpiece different from a standard eggbutt snaffle?
The Novocontact mouthpiece is designed with a unique oval shape. When the rider maintains a steady contact, the oval widens the contact surface on the tongue for a softer influence. When a rein aid is applied, the mouthpiece turns forward and the contact surface narrows, allowing more precise communication compared to a conventional round mouthpiece.
Is this bit suitable for horses that are reluctant to take the contact?
Yes. According to Sprenger, tests have shown that single jointed Novocontact bits are highly recommended for horses that do not take the contact confidently, as well as for horses with a sensitive mouth where soft but precise aids are needed.
What is the mouthpiece thickness of this bit?
This bit has a 14mm mouthpiece.
How does the eggbutt ring design benefit the horse?
The fixed eggbutt ring means the mouthpiece lies steady in the horse's mouth and is gentle on the corners of the mouth. The D-shaped rings also provide lateral contact, which can help horses that tend to fall out when ridden or when approaching an obstacle.
Is this a single or double jointed bit?
This is a single jointed bit. Sprenger also produces Novocontact bits in a double jointed version, but this specific model is single jointed.
What type of rider is this bit designed for?
Sprenger states the Novocontact range has been tested and approved by both professional and leisure riders, and is described as suitable for every type of horse.
