BBBC452.5E Bombers BC45 2.5 ring eggbutt gag

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 horizontlaly with the edge of the plate on the tongue.

A Ring cheek piece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece, the 2 ½ ring version is the softest version of ring bit as the ½ ring softens the leverage on the mouthpiece and poll.

The Eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching of the lips and gives a slightly more solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth.  The release is slower and also introduces some poll pressure.

All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

• oxidises easily
• encourages salivation
• helps bit acceptance
• is warm and sweet

Please note the blue will fade with use.
