Sprenger KK ULTRA Loose Ring Snaffle 16mm Mouth 70mm Ring. Sprenger KK ULTRA Loose Ring Snaffle is a double jointed bit featuring a central link, know as the bean. The bean is angled at 45 degrees and is shortened so that it lies gently on the tongue resulting in a more even and constant contact between the riders hands and the horse's mouth. The KK ULTRA features an ergonomically shaped mouthpiece which sits comfortably in the horse's mouth, whilst the bean ensures clear and concise aids can be given through the rein to the tongue by taking advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of the horse's tongue.
