Loose rings provide a direct contact with immediate yielding where the pressure on the tongue and lips ceases as soon as the rider releases the rein and the bit takes a neutral position in the horse's mouth.
A horse that shakes its head when the rider grabs the rein or sticks out its tongue are classic signs that the horse has a sensitive tongue. The Mc Hardy mouthpiece was developed with this in mind, it has a medium-high port to accommodate the tongue and reduce pressure. The buster roller in the middle increases the pressure on the lances which has a lifting effect and gives more control.
Bombers bites are made in South Africa and are completely handmade, giving you the unique opportunity to choose how every little detail of the bite is designed. You can choose the type of mouthpiece you want, the type of rings/shackles, the thickness of the bite and whether you want different lengths on the right and left sides of the mouthpieces. The mouthpieces are made of sweet iron and brass and are shaped to distribute the pressure over a larger surface, rings/handles are made of stainless steel.
