Product description
WH Ultra
A double-jointed bit, angled forward by 45°, that features a unique roller in the center section. WH ULTRA bits – developed by Sprenger in cooperation with Lisa Wilcox and Ernst Hoyos.
“This unique roller provides a gentle stimulation to the tongue, which encourages the horse to chew, prompting salivation, allowing the acceptance of the bit therefore the relaxation of the jaw. It has been Ernst and my experience that through this gentle stimulation our horses learn more quickly to accept the bit softening their entire top-line enabling us to perform the movements with more relaxation, thoroughness and ultimately more harmony.” Lisa Wilcox
This bit uses the tongue’s sense of touch to achieve optimum effect without being sharp.
KK ULTRA bits are the pioneers of modern bits because they have been developed on the basis of scientific research.
They achieve their unique, precise effect through the special 45° angle of the middle link. 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 notice ably optimizes 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.
Advantages of the KK Ultra bits at a glance:
-All-round talent with a wide variety of models
-Anatomically adapted mouthpiece
-Pptimum 45° angle position of the middle link
-Mouth and tongue friendly
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.
Please pay attention to the correct position of the arrow, which must point forward on the left hand.
