  • Adapted to the anatomy of the horse's mouth, KK Ultra bits take advantage of the exceptional sensitivity of the horse's tongue by multiplying the perceptions from signals given by the bit.
  • Developed after extensive research at the Veterinary University in Hanover, Germany, the links on the KK Ultra bits are shortened and turned 45 degrees, causing the link to rest fully on the tongue without squeezing, pinching or applying pressure to the palate.
  • This unique bit design provides an incomparable precisely contact between rider and horse.
  • The KK Ultra Eggbutt is constructed of Sensogan, a distinctive composition of copper, manganese and zinc specifically developed by Sprenger to promote an even more delicate and sophisticated connection to the horse.
  • Cheek pieces are stainless steel.
  • In most circumstances, significant improvement can be seen immediately when switching to a KK Ultra bit. 
  • To ensure proper placement, be sure that the arrow on the cheek piece is pointing forwards on the left hand side.
  • 16mm Mouth piece, 70 mm (2 3/4") Cheeks
  • Made in Germany.

 

 

 

An all-around bit for any discipline, this Herm Sprenger® Sensogan® KK Ultra Eggbutt Bit has a 16 mm mouthpiece created to suit the anatomy of the horse’s mouth. Friendly to the mouth and tongue, it features a shortened middle link that is angle 45° to enable soft but also precise aids. Classic eggbutt cheeks are 70 mm (2 3/4").

This bit is designed to help improve the precision of the rein aids and contact. It allows direct pressure transmission on the tongue and lower jaw due to the fixed mouthpiece. It lies steadily in the horse’s mouth and is gentle on the corners of the lips. 

Sensogan, a propriety blend of copper, zinc and manganese, has a pleasant taste that encourages salivation and bit acceptance.
