The Lock Up Snaffle 2.5 Ring by Bombers Bits removes the nut cracker action of the conventional snaffle, meaning it will bear less pressure on each side of the horses jaw called the bars. Our Snaffle mouthpiece is popular due to the curved mouthpiece which distributes pressure more evenly over tongue and bars.
With the offset centre link it will reduce nutcracker action and pressure points on the tongue.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
- Encourages salivation
- Helps bit acceptance
- Is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.
