Sprenger Turnado 3-Ring Bit Stainless Steel 16mm

Turnado bits represent a new generation of loose ring snaffles. Standard single jointed bits have a production related characteristic: one part of the mouthpiece is longer than the other which results in stronger influence on one tongue edge. To avoid this problem, Sprenger recommend to use Turnado bits. The joint of these bits has been angled forward by 45 degrees in order to guarantee an even distribution of pressure on both sides of the tongue.

The bit is also suitable for horses with slight tongue problems. This special rotation is distinctly marked by a slightly abrasive surface (sandblasting) in the middle part of the mouthpiece.

The Turnado is characterised by a slightly roughened surface (sandblasting) of the mouthpiece in the middle area of the bit.

This Turnado 3-ring bit provides an even impact on the tongue and neck. If your horse has a strong forward drive, the 3-ring bit may be the ideal choice. The stronger impact is well suited for horses that are difficult to regulate and tend to pull away upwards.

Because of the concise action of this bit, it is particularly recommended for riders with sensitive hand action. The rider can decide individually whether to ride with one or two pairs of reins.
