Portuguese 3 Ring Petros Elliptical
The Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit and can be combined with any 3 piece bit. Often good for a horse that leans or tries to take hold of the bit. The Elliptical is a 45 mm lozenge, it is stronger than the Control Plate due to it having a smaller surface area. Consequently, a horse using his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.
A Ring cheekpiece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece. The 3 Ring is our most popular version.
All our 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.
Trust Bombers blue sweet iron bits!
