What is Aurigan?
Aurigan is a taste and not a color.
It is the oxidixed 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 proven by scientific research.
The excellent acceptance of Aurigan in the horses 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 higher copper content in a bit material does not necessarily result in optimum oxidation.
Aluminium and nickel ingredients actually inhibit the oxidation process of the metal in the horses mouth slowing down the reaction.
Sprenger offers a wide range of bits in Aurigan.
Aurigan bits ensure perfect harmony and satisfy the high demands of competition together with the expectations of ambitious leisure riders.
The extensive research into the oxidation processes and anotamy of the horse's jaw has definitely had an effect on many New Zealanders to change from their normal bits to experience the difference of a Sprenger Bit.
