It is the oxidized Aurigan (85% Copper, 4% Silicon, 11% Zinc) bits that produce the distinctive and pleasant taste horses love. It encourages them to chew and produce saliva which leads to rapid acceptance of the bit. Aurigan is a Nickel free alloy which, due to the inclusion of Silicon, combines the oxidation advantages of pure copper with maximum strength. It exceeds the quality of the approved German Silver.
The WH ULTRA developed by Lisa Wilcox and Ernst Hoyos together with Sprenger is a double-jointed bit that features a unique roller in the center section.
"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, throughness and ultimately more harmony."
