Expert opinion : This bit has been uniquely shaped and flattened. It has cylindrical sides and a flattened centre and is extremely soft and flexible. Especially good for the horse that objects to metal or when you have tried every kind of bit without luck. The Bombers Preferred Contact Mouthpiece helps to spread bar and tongue pressure more evenly and the cylindrical sides are slightly ribbed for lateral independence. A 45° flattened centre pad softens tongue pressure. The loose ring has much more movement and play than a fixed butt, or cheek. As a result, it discourages fixing, blocking and leaning, and encourages mouthing.
It allows the mouthpiece more movement, so that it may follow the angle of the tongue, because the angle of the poll and the horse’s overall outline changes through different work etc. The internal flexible stainless-steel cable core has been injection moulded with a bespoke non-toxic, UV resistant, FDA approved flexible synthetic material. The Bombers moulded material has been uniquely developed, to ensure 3 key attributes; texture, durability and comfort. As with all their steel components, the cable core and cheek piece will be covered by our lifetime guarantee.
> Sold with bit guards.
Moulded Preferred Contact Resin : The bit has cylindrical sides and is flat through the middle. The cylindrical sides flex onto the bottom bars and jaw, with the flattened centre section bending over the tongue. The centre tongue pad is an elongated circle, flattened and angled at 45 degrees to sit flush against the tongue and palate. The articulated ribs on either side of the tongue pad allow the cylindrical sides some independence, and the tongue and palate.
Caution : This material is vulnerable and is not guaranteed by the manufacturer against wear and tear due to biting. We strongly advise against using a bit that is too damaged, as this could injure the horse's bars, tongue and palate.
