Bombers Nylon Back Strap
We think that every bit box should have a back strap in it! Such a simple bit of kit that can make a huge difference.
The back strap should be used with the majority of multiple ring (2.5/Universal, 3 Ring etc) and lever bits. It prevents the mouthpiece from over rotating in the mouth.
When using the back strap this should be introduced loosely and then tightened one hole at a time. The strap tightened will increases the leverage and the reaction will be quicker (therefore sharper) on the horse’s mouth/poll.

Ported Barrel Eggbutt
The Eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching of the lips and give 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.
The Ported Barrel was created to relieve pressure on the tongue via the the medium port, which creates space for the tongue. The Barrel joint relieves pressure on the bars by spreading it over a larger area and limiting the nut cracker action of a conventional snaffle.

Bombers Eggbutt Snaffle
The Bombers Eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching of the lips and give 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 this bit also introduces some poll pressure.
The Bombers Snaffle is a popular bit due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link it will reduce the nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.

Bombers Blue Swivel Pelham Polo
The Bombers Blue Pelham Polo is a unique bit, which produces amazing results for the majority of horses.
Ported for tongue relief and very light, can be made with your choice of cheek piece.
The Pelham has attachments for two reins, one near the mouthpiece and one at the end of the shank. These reins have similar action to the curb and bradoon reins in the double bridle.
In the Bomber Blue Swivel the mouth piece is not fixed, so that the horse can decide where the mouth piece is most comfortable in its mouth. The port allows for tongue relief and the swivelling action reduces tongue pressure to a minimum. The material used allows the bit to remain light and it encourages salivation. It is particularly well-suited to horses that object to metal mouth pieces.
Available in 125mm with either 55mm shanks or 75mm shanks.
