It is oxidized AURIGAN bits that produce the distinctive and pleasant taste horses love. This particular taste encourages horses to chew and produce saliva which leads to the rapid acceptance of the AURIGAN bit. 

The extraordinary advantages of AURIGAN as a material for bits has been proved by scientific research. The excellent acceptance of AURIGAN in the horse's mouth has been confirmed by a long-term study at the University of Hanover.

AURIGAN is a special nickel-free alloy which, due to the inclusion of silicon, combines the oxidation advantages of pure copper with maximum strength. This is guaranteed by the unique formula and composition of AURIGAN which exceeds the quality of the approved German Silver.

A high copper content in a bit material does not necessarily result in optimum oxidization. Aluminium and nickel ingredients actually inhibit the oxidization process of the metal in the horse's mouth – slowing down the reaction! SPRENGER offers a wide range in the AURIGAN line. 

With good reasons you can always expect a little more from SPRENGER, the worldwide leader in the production of Bits, Stirrups, Spurs and Harness fittings.
