Our Petros Jointed Snaffle Loose Ring Eggbutt mouthpiece is popular due to the curved mouthpiece which spreads pressure more evenly over tongue and bars. With the offset centre link, it will reduce nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.
Furthermore, the Petros mouthpieces rotate stopping the horse taking hold of the bit and can be combined with any 3 piece bit. As a result, they are often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit.
The Eggbutt Loose Ring prevents pinching of the lips and gives a slightly more solid feel against the side of the face. It also stops the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The Eggbutt Loose Ring provides the quick release of a Loose Ring.
The Twisted Wire Buster Roller 2.5 Ring by Bombers Bit is a fabulous bit for schooling.
The link in the middle is shortened to 40mm increasing bar and tongue pressure making the bit sharper than conventional link bits. Hence, the increased pressure on the bar will lift the head and the roller will intensify pressure on the tongue tucking the chin in.
Best suited for a horse with a low head carriage and which leans on the bit. As a result, the twisted wire produces more pressure points on the bars making it a stronger bit.
A Ring cheek piece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece. As a result, the 2 ½ ring version is the softest version of ring bit. The ½ ring softens the leverage on the mouthpiece and poll.
Additionally, all bomber bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
- Oxidises easily.
- Stimulates salivation.
- Helps bit acceptance.
- Is warm and sweet.
Please note the blue will fade with use.
