About Sprenger
Sprenger has been producing equestrian metalwork in Germany since 1872, when Hermann Sprenger founded the business in Iserlohn. Over time, the brand built an international reputation for durable, well-engineered riding equipment, especially bits and spurs. For riders, the appeal of Sprenger is straightforward: quality materials, thoughtful design and dependable performance for day-to-day riding as well as competition.
Sprenger bits
Sprenger bits are widely recognised for their quality construction and rider-focused design. The brand’s range includes options suited to different horses, disciplines and preferences, with well-known materials including stainless steel and Sensogan. On Trailrace, Sprenger sits naturally within the broader bits range for riders looking for trusted hardware with a strong reputation for comfort, acceptance and clear communication.
Sprenger spurs
Sprenger spurs are popular with riders wanting secure fit, refined aids and reliable finish quality.

In bits, that includes specialist materials and mouthpiece development; in spurs, it includes fit-focused designs and options intended to improve grip and precision.
