Key Features

The Bomber Hybrid is a combination of a mechanical hackamore and American Gag, giving it the combined effects of the hackamore and the bit.  Ideal for strong sensitive mouthed horses as it distributes pressure uniformly on the nose, mouth and the poll. The reins can be attached at various positions to allow for varying degrees of leverage. The amount of movement in the mouthpiece can be altered by moving the stopper above the mouthpiece. The nose piece is padded for the horse’s comfort and a nylon curb strap is included.

The Elliptical is stronger than the Control Plate due to it concentrating pressure onto a smaller surface area. This bit will suit a horse that pushes the bit with its tongue. The horse will lower its head and tuck its chin in, finding a better balance of control.

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.

The nylon composite material is light in the mouth and encourages salivation. It is particularly well suited to horses that object to metal mouth pieces.

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. Winner of the BETA 2024 New Product Award.

Cheekpiece

This is a sophisticated combination bit, suitable for experienced riders for use on a strong but sensitive horse, the adjustable settings offered for rein attachments will vary pressure on the nose, tongue and curb. Care must be taken that, as with any mechanical hackamore, the noseband sits above the nasal bone.

Supplied with a nylon back strap.
