Bombers Loose Ring Ported Barrel - 135mm

The Bombers Loose Ring Ported Barrel – 135mm combines Bombers' preferred loose-ring cheekpiece with a central Barrel and adjustable port. The design allows the reins to act independently, providing the rider with more refined communication and the ability to fine-tune rein aids.

The central Barrel has limited movement, allowing the port to adjust to a range of horse mouth configurations. This gives the horse some ability to manoeuvre contact between the tongue and bars.

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

Cheekpiece

The Loose Ring cheekpiece is Bombers' preferred cheekpiece. It allows the mouthpiece to move freely and return quickly 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 designs 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 Ported Barrel mouthpiece features a central Barrel with limited movement. This allows the port to adjust to the horse's mouth while providing some ability for the horse to position contact between the tongue and bars.

The central Barrel also allows for separation of rein aids, giving the rider greater control over individual rein signals and more refined communication.
