Bombers Loose Ring Elliptical

The Bombers Loose Ring Elliptical Bit – 130mm features a loose-ring cheekpiece combined with an elliptical mouthpiece. The loose-ring design allows the bit to move and quickly return to a neutral position in the horse’s mouth, while the elliptical mouthpiece concentrates pressure over a smaller surface area.

The Elliptical is designed for horses that tend to push against the bit with the tongue, providing a more concentrated contact and encouraging a more balanced head and neck position.

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 used as an additional precaution against rubbing.

Cheekpiece

The loose-ring cheekpiece is Bombers' preferred cheekpiece. It allows the mouthpiece to move freely and quickly return towards a neutral position.

The cheekpiece is available in Large, Standard and Pony sizes.

For added stability, Bombers recommends using a bit strap with a loose-ring bit. Bit rubbers may also be fitted as a precaution against rubbing.

Mouthpiece

The Elliptical mouthpiece concentrates contact onto a smaller surface area than the Control Plate design. It is intended for horses that push against the bit with their tongue.

The mouthpiece can optionally be more curved than a conventional design. This creates a different bend through the mouth and is intended to help reduce pinching and distribute contact around the bars.
