Barrel 20 Double Jointed Loose Ring used - Bombers

Bit category A : Excellent condition

The Barrel joint limits the nut cracker action, which spreads the pressure over a larger area of the tongue and lessens the pressure on the bars. The barrel allows for independent action on each rein. Please note, this bit exerts sharper tongue pressure than the Eliptical due to the Barrel being smaller. The Barrel joint limits the nut cracker action, which spreads the pressure over a larger area of the tongue and lessens the pressure on the bars. The Barrel allows for independent action on each rein. Bomber recommends this to eliminate the nutcracker action of a single joint if the horse pokes or flicks its nose in the air showing signs of objecting to the pinching of the tongue and bar. The independent action on each rein allows the rider to lift one shoulder.

Sweet Iron : Sweet Iron alloy oxidizes upon contact with moisture in the mouth and air. The oxidation brings a sweet taste that naturally stimulates the production of saliva. This corresponds to the effect of a sugar that is given to the horse at the beginning of the session but allows to diffuse this sweet taste throughout the work. Therefore, this alloy allows a good acceptance of the bit and helps the horse to make contact with the mouthpiece. The oxydation modifies the aspect of the bit during the sessions.
