Bombers Bit, Fulmer Loose Ring Barrel
$198.00A conventional Snaffle joint has a nut cracker action, which means it will bear pressure on the horse’s bars and the tongue. The Barrel joint limits the nut cracker action and spreads the usual pressure over a larger area. When the rein is used this mouthpiece wraps across the tongue creating tongue pressure and taking pressure off the bars due to the lock up action.
Please note appearances may be deceiving; this bit joint is stronger than the Elliptical. Because the joint is smaller pressure is more concentrated on the tongue.
- Distance between rings – 130mm.

Bombers Bit, Loose Ring Tube Buster Roller
$190.00The Loose Ring Tube cheekpieces lies flat against the horse’s face giving a more solid feel against the side of the face, while preventing lip pinching and the bit being pulled through the mouth. The mouthpiece is quite fixed in the mouth and concentrates pressure on the bars. However the loose rings allow for a quick release.
The Buster Roller link in the middle is shortened to 40mm which increases bar and tongue pressure making the bit sharper than conventional link bits. The increased pressure on the bar will lift the head and the roller will increase pressure on the tongue bringing the chin in. Best suited for a horse with a low head carriage and one which leans on the bit.

Bombers Bit, Williams, Control Plate 45
$190.00The Williams cheekpiece allows for multiple rein positions. When connected to the main ring the bit acts as a loose ring, and when connected to the bottom ring it promotes pole flexion by creating more positive poll pressure. The Williams cheekpiece helps to prevent drifting.
The Bombers Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control. This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontally with the edge of the plate on the tongue.
Distance between rings: 130mm.

Bombers Bit, Fulmer Loose Ring, Control Plate

The Loose Rings make the bit less fixed in the mouth, which encourages mouthing and acceptance of the bit, while retaining the turning advantages of the full cheek.
