A horse is an animal of flight – it will never yield to pressure or pain, it will either move away from it or run away. To obtain control we need to remove the resistance. To remove the resistance, one must remove the pressure or distribute the pressure over a larger surface area.
The horse’s balance point is its head, unlike cats, dogs where the balance point is in the tail.
By watching the frame and composure of a horse, and in particular its head, resistance can be identified and though incremental bitting changes, the Bombers Methodology can help make a good horse great.
Bombers prides itself on striving to ensure the highest level of manufacturing and craftmanship. It is for that reason they have added a maximum weight rating of 90kgs on certain bit models, namely the barrel, Bomber Blue and cable mouthpieces.
Please note due to oxidisation the blue sweet iron will fade with use.
Bombers only uses the very best Stainless Steel. Brass is used in some products. Most of our mouthpieces are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
Our bits should be washed after every use and checked for wear. If the bit has been out of use for some time, a kitchen scourer maybe necessary to remove built up oxidation.
The nylon composite material is light in the mouth and encourages salivation while the port offers tongue relief. It is particularly well suited to horses that object to metal mouth pieces. The material is non-toxic with a stainless-steel core.
