Bombers 2½ Ring Moulded Mullen

The Bombers 2½ Ring Moulded Mullen combines a multi-ring cheekpiece with Bombers' uniquely shaped Moulded Mullen mouthpiece.

The 2½-ring cheekpiece introduces poll pressure and leverage, while the additional ½ ring moderates the leverage compared with the larger 3- and 4-ring alternatives.

The moulded mouthpiece is flattened and angled at 45°, creating broad, evenly distributed contact around the tongue. A flexible stainless-steel cable core is injection moulded within Bombers' bespoke flexible synthetic material, developed for texture, durability and comfort.

The non-metal mouthpiece makes this bit particularly suitable for horses that object to metal mouthpieces.

A nylon back strap is included.

Important: This is a leverage-style bit. Correct fitting and appropriate rein use are important, and bit selection should take the individual horse and rider into account.

A nylon back strap is supplied.

Mouthpiece

The Moulded Mullen mouthpiece is flattened and angled at 45°, with the design intended to provide soft, evenly distributed contact over and around the tongue.
