Q about sprenger snaffles-old style, NOT the KK ultra-still available?

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

are the original style KK snaffles still available, think they are known as training snaffle?

if so, were they ever produced with 55mm (bradoon) rings????

thanks!

I think.....they are called a Conrad training snaffle. I sold one on ebay this year that was about 10 years old ( although had been sat in storage!). It was made of aurigan and had 70mm rings. There are a few on ebay but not sure that they are available with smaller rings, but you never know!

You can still get the KK Correction, 55mm eggbutt or 70mm loose ring - I haven't seen any 55mm loose ring ones though:

If you mean the KK with a lozenge, then yes they were produced with small rings. The mouthpiece was thinner than the normal snaffle (like any bridoon). For one horse I used to use a regular KK snaffle as the bridoon as he liked a thicker mouthpiece although it would be too much of a mouthful for some horses.
