These are the best, I have used this bit on many horses and it works wonderfully on pretty much all of them unless they simply don't like loose ring bits.
While it costs a pretty penny it is worth it, my horse liked to ignore me at times when using other bits the same diameter, and was also loose ring. But with this one he doesn't ignore me and takes it into his mouth without issue.

Very Expensive, not sure why, but my sensitive horse relaxes and goes softly in it. One of those items that we ignore the price to buy to treat our horses well.

You can't get a better bit than this. I have better rides in this bit than any other bit I have tried. My horse is more flexible, and accepts the bit easily. The quality of the bit is outstanding, I only gave 3 stars for value, because the bit cost more than my entire Dressage bridle! I will never ride in anything but a Sprenger KK Ultra bit. My horse is a 5 1/2 and I ordered a 5 3/4 after reading reviews, and ended up having to exchange it for a 5 1/4. For some reason they don't make this bit in a 5 1/2, so order the next size down if your size is not available.

When I started looking for a new bit, I asked this fellow rider how she liked her Herm Sprenger bit. She said, it revolutionized her riding. I figured she exaggerated a little bit, but gave it a try and got one of my own. My gelding not only accepts the bit, but stretches into the bit and is more relaxed than ever before. With confidence I can proclaim that this bit indeed revolutionized my riding as well! Worth the money !!!

My horse accepted this bit right away with no problems at all. I had to exchange the first one I ordered though. It was too big and I had to go a size down. It's expensive but the quality is there. I hope it will be the last bit I have to buy.

My horse took to this bit right away. He should for the price! I have used happy mouth bits in the past so this was a big purchase for me. Overall, I am very pleased with this bit.

I have had this bit, or variations on the theme, on 4 different horses. My 8 yo mare has a remarkably soft mouth, and she tolerates this like a dream. My old schoolmaster had a mouth like a brick from being worked solely in the double bridle for YEARS before I got him, and he responded to this bit quite nicely. Polishes up great for shows, with a little soap and water, and HS Diamond Paste!!

Horses really seemed to enjoy this bit, both the structure and material. They are more subtle and willing in the jaw and appear more happy to go right to work.

This bit is worth every penny. Our large pony often leaned on his old bit and pulled on our 11 year old daughter arms. This bit keeps him from doing that. It also rewards him when he is in the proper position, by giving to him, even if our daughter hasn't felt it yet. This has help get him much more obedient. I would recommend this bit to anyone who does dressage.
