Bombers Eggbutt Elliptical Dressage - 135mm

The Bombers Eggbutt Elliptical Dressage – 135mm is a dressage-oriented horse bit combining a stable eggbutt cheekpiece with Bombers' shorter Elliptical Dressage mouthpiece.

The eggbutt cheekpiece provides a solid, stable feel against the sides of the horse's face, helps prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth and reduces the potential for lip pinching. Compared with a loose-ring cheekpiece, the release is slower and the design introduces light poll pressure.

The Elliptical Dressage mouthpiece is shorter than the standard Elliptical, resulting in more concentrated tongue and bar contact. The curved Comfy mouthpieces and flattened lozenge are designed to distribute contact across the tongue and bars, while the offset links help reduce pressure points.

The result is a carefully shaped mouthpiece designed to promote a more comfortable and accepted contact during dressage work.
