Sprenger Flex Control 18 mm – Flexible Mullen Mouth Bit

For horses that are powerful in the hand but sensitive in the mouth

The Sprenger Flex Control bit is the solution for riders who have to deal with strong or sensitive horses that tend to get stuck or go against the hand. Thanks to its flexible core and sturdy outer layer this bit offers a smart combination of softness and control, without acting sharply.

Why choose the Flex Control bit?

Well thought-out design for controlled softness
The bit has a solid, plastic outer layer over a stainless steel core. This way, the bit feels comfortable and soft for the horse, while you as a rider still maintain sufficient control, even with horses that make themselves strong or bite.

️ Safe and friendly
The smooth flexible padding is gentle on the horse's mouth and ideal for horses with sensitive tongues or corners of the mouth. In addition, the bit prevents injuries from abrasive or pinching parts, which can occur with metal bits.

Encourages a quiet connection
Thanks to its straight, slightly curved shape, the bit distributes pressure evenly over the tongue and layers. This encourages the horse to have a calm, stable connection with the hand.

Perfect for problem horses
Ideal for horses that are difficult to ride with traditional bits, such as horses that pull, hang on the bit or try to push their tongue away.
