D Ring Snaffle Bit

D-Ring Snaffle Bits For a Calm Position and Lateral Guidance

Discover D ring snaffle bits from SPRENGER, designed to support a calm position of the bit in the horse's mouth while providing lateral support. The distinctive D-shaped rings lie flat against the horse's mouth, preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth and offering gentle guidance during turns. D-ring bits are particularly popular in hunter, equitation, and jumping disciplines where steady contact and precise steering are essential. The fixed cheekpiece design provides more stability than loose rings, making D-ring snaffle bits an excellent choice for horses who need clear boundaries or riders seeking consistent contact. 

Single Jointed Bit, Double-Jointed Bit, and D-Ring Mullen Mouth Bit

D-ring bits are available in multiple mouthpiece styles. Single-jointed options like the Stainless Steel D-Ring Bit (Single-Jointed), Dynamic RS H/J D-Ring - Single Jointed, and NATHE Single-Jointed D-Ring Bit direct pressure to the tongue edges. Double-jointed bits including the KK Ultra D-Ring, Dynamic RS D-Ring - Double Jointed, WH Ultra D-Ring Bit, and Dynamic RS H/J D-Ring - Double Jointed distribute pressure evenly. For steady contact, mullen mouth options like the NATHE D-Ring Bit with Flexible Mullen Mouth and Satinox CM Mullen Mouth D-Ring offer options for horses that prfer an even pressure distribution.

Herm Sprenger Anatomical D-Ring Bits

Choose from SPRENGER's specialized bit lines. The Herm Sprenger KK Ultra and Dynamic RS bits feature 45° forward-angled joints for anatomical fit and to create an even pressure distribution along the tongue without pressure point where the joints are. The Dynamic RS bits are shaped ergonomically to fit delicate and small mouths, whereas the straight shape of KK Ultra bits or SPRENGER Turnado bits (for those who are looking for a single-jointed bit) also suits felshy mouths. The WH Ultra bit series provides a copper roller in the lozenge for more focus on the tongue and thus on the transmition of rein aids. All these SPRENGER bits are made of SENSOGAN, a special copper alloy that promotes salivation and thus encourages the horse to chew naturally. NATHE thermoplastic bits are the perferct alternative to rubber bit, due to their smooth, non-abrasive surface. SATINOX bits are made of stainless steel and represent the entry-level product range of SPREGNER bits .
