Loose Ring Bomber Blue

The Bombers Loose Ring Bomber Blue Bit combines Bombers' preferred loose-ring cheekpiece with a lightweight Bomber Blue nylon composite mouthpiece designed to provide tongue relief and encourage salivation.

The mouthpiece is ported to create additional tongue space, while the nylon composite construction provides a lighter, non-metal contact surface. It can be particularly suitable for horses that are reluctant to accept traditional metal mouthpieces.

The loose-ring cheekpiece allows the bit to move freely and quickly return towards a neutral position when rein pressure is released. Bombers describes the Bomber Blue as a popular choice for starting young horses due to its lightweight, non-metal construction and tongue-relieving design.

Orange bit protectors are included.

Cheekpiece

The Loose Ring 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 a loose-ring design 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 Bomber Blue mouthpiece is made from a lightweight nylon composite and features a port designed to provide tongue relief.

The non-metal material is particularly useful for horses that object to traditional metal mouthpieces. Its porous construction is designed to encourage salivation and acceptance.

The Bomber Blue mouthpiece is available with four port sizes, scaled according to the corresponding bit width. This is intended to help ensure the port sits accurately over the bars and reduce unwanted rocking that can occur when a port is too wide.
