Sprenger Flex Control 18mm – Flexible Mullen Mouth Bit

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

The Sprenger Flex Control bit is the ideal solution for riders dealing with strong or sensitive horses that tend to stiffen or push back. Thanks to its flexible core and firm outer layer, this bit offers a clever combination of softness and control, without being harsh.

Why choose the Flex Control bit

Thoughtful design for controlled softness
The bit has a firm, plastic outer layer over a stainless steel core. This makes the bit feel comfortable and soft for the horse, while you, the rider, maintain sufficient control, even with horses that are aggressive or bite hard.

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

Encourages a silent contact
Thanks to its straight, slightly curved shape, the bit distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars. This encourages the horse to form a calm, stable connection with your 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.
