Bombers Loose Ring Moulded Mullen - 135mm

The Bombers Loose Ring Moulded Mullen – 135mm combines Bombers' preferred loose-ring cheekpiece with a uniquely shaped Moulded Mullen mouthpiece.

The loose-ring cheekpiece allows the bit to move freely and quickly return towards a neutral position when rein pressure is released, providing relief from tongue and bar pressure.

The moulded mouthpiece is flattened and angled at 45°, creating a broad, evenly distributed contact around the tongue. It features a flexible stainless-steel cable core surrounded by 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 or have been difficult to match with a suitable bit.

Cheekpiece

The Loose Ring cheekpiece is Bombers' preferred cheekpiece. It allows the mouthpiece to move freely and quickly return towards a neutral position when rein pressure is released.

The cheekpiece is available in:

• Large
• Standard
• Pony

Bombers recommends using a bit strap with loose-ring bits to help stabilise the mouthpiece and minimise excessive movement through the mouth. Bit rubbers can also be considered as a precaution against rubbing.

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.

The internal flexible stainless-steel cable core is injection moulded with Bombers' flexible synthetic material. The material is developed around three key attributes: texture, durability and comfort.

The non-metal mouthpiece is particularly suited to horses that object to metal or where previous bit choices have not been successful.
