Product Information
Full details
The Sprenger Dynamic RS Bradoon is designed for dressage riders seeking a gentle yet precise contact with sensitive horses. Its primary benefit is the ergonomic double-jointed design that minimizes pressure on the tongue and palate, fostering a more confident connection with the bit. While highly effective for horses with fleshy tongues or those prone to discomfort, it may be too mild for horses that require a stronger, more assertive signal from the rider's hand.

FAQs
What makes Sensogan better than standard stainless steel?
Sensogan is an alloy that encourages salivation and is generally more palatable to horses, which helps them accept the bit more readily.
Is this bit suitable for jumping?
This is a bradoon specifically designed for dressage bridles. It is generally not used for jumping as it lacks the leverage or control of a pelham or gag bit.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The bit should extend just beyond the corners of the lips, with no more than 0.5 cm of play on either side.
Can I use this for competition?
Yes, the Sprenger Dynamic RS series is widely accepted in most dressage competition rulebooks, but always check your specific governing body guidelines.
How often should I replace the bit?
Inspect the mouthpiece regularly for wear or sharp edges. If the metal becomes thin or damaged, it should be replaced immediately.
Troubleshooting
Horse is backing off the contact
Verify that the bit size is correct; if it is too wide, it may cause instability. Ensure the bridle is not adjusted too tightly.
Bit shows signs of oxidation
Sensogan is designed to oxidize slightly to promote salivation; however, keep it clean after use to prevent excessive tarnishing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces pressure on the sensitive palate and tongue
- Encourages a relaxed and forward-thinking contact
- Sensogan material is well-tolerated by picky horses
- Excellent for horses that are easily distracted or tense
Cons
- May be too light for horses that lean heavily on the bit
- Requires careful sizing to ensure the links sit correctly
- Higher price point compared to standard steel bits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
When fitting the Dynamic RS Bradoon, ensure the middle link is angled toward the horse's nose, not backward. The bit should be placed high enough in the mouth to create a soft wrinkle at the corner of the lips without over-compressing the tissue. For maintenance, rinse the mouthpiece with lukewarm water after every ride to remove saliva and prevent mineral buildup on the Sensogan alloy. Periodically check the rings for smooth rotation to ensure the bit remains responsive to subtle aids.
