Key Features

The American Gag has a long curved shank with rings at either end. This setup creates a lot of poll pressure and leverage on the bit.

The Bomber Blue material is a nylon composite and has been on the global market for over a decade. It has proven to be a well-received alternative to steel and other synthetics. It is porous encouraging salivation and acceptance.

We have carefully blended the stainless-steel joints with the Bomber Blue material to create a smooth  profile.

The underlying steel core provides the rigidity and strength, with the Bomber Blue material injection moulded around this spine, reducing the overall weight and providing a more accepted surface for contact.

Cheekpiece

The American Gag has 2 size models, a short and long version. The longer has a greater purchase and shank, creating potentially more leverage on the pressure points while allowing for more hand movement and regulation of the pressure exerted.

Mouthpiece

Bomber recommends this conventional mouthpiece for both schooling and competition, it applies sharper pressure than the plate to the tongue and similar pressure to the bar, bringing the head down.

At the foundation is a stainless-steel spine around which the Bomber Blue nylon material is injection moulded, providing a smooth sleek profile where the non-metal material lines up with the steel elements, giving an overall ergonomic shape that sits comfortably in the horse’s mouth without any unnecessary pressure points.

There are many factors beyond our control that can contribute to the horse chewing the bit, thus we are not able to cover the non-metal mouthpieces with our lifetime guarantee.
