Eggbutt Loose Ring Twisted Wire Control Plate
The Bombers Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses 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. This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontlaly with the edge of the plate on the tongue. Twisted wire creates more pressure points on the bars making it a stronger bit.
Eggbutt Loose Ring Square Twist Control Plate
The Bombers Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue. Consequently, a horse who uses 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. This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontally with the edge of the plate on the tongue. The Square Twist will create more pressure points on the mouthpiece which will make it stronger than the twisted wire and round bar.
Eggbutt Loose Ring Petros Control Plate
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 Bombers Control Plate is set at 45° to follow the contour of the horses tongue.

Eggbutt Loose Ring Barrel
A conventional Snaffle joint has a nut cracker action, which means it will bear pressure on each side of the horses jaw called the bars and the tongue. The Barrel joint limits the nut cracker action and spreads the usual pressure over a larger area.When the rein is used this mouthpiece wraps across the tongue creating tongue pressure and taking pressure off the bars due to the lock up action. Please note appearances may be deceiving, this bit joint is stronger than the Elliptical as pressure is more concentrated on the tongue as this joint is smaller.
Eggbutt Loose Ring Colin Miles
The Colin Miles is a great schooling bit with a 55mm centre piece creating greater tongue pressure. The rings give the horse something to play with and help keep the horses attention on the bit.
Eggbutt Loose 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.
