Key Features

As with the Pelham, the action of the Kimblewick is dependent upon the position of the riders hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring. If the hands are lowered prior to pressure being applied to the reins, the rein will slide about an inch and the bit will assume roughly a 45° angle in the mouth. Causing the mouthpiece to act in a downward and backward motion on the lower jaw, this is complemented by a downward pressure on the poll, giving the bit a lowering action. There are 3 rein settings which increase or decrease the pressure.

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 Bomber Blue Link has a slightly different connection which separates the links slightly.  This slight separation softens the squeezing pressure on the bars, making the Snaffle Link more acceptable to the horse.

Cheekpiece

The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard and a slightly smaller model for a pony. The standard size Kimblewick is available with a shorter purchase, the Kimblewick Lite. Supplied with a nylon back strap.

Mouthpiece

Recommended by Bomber for horse that are heavy on the forehand with natural downhill balance.

The link in the centre acts as a small double joint.  The mouthpiece wraps around the lower jaw creating a squeezing pressure on the bars.  The Bomber Blue Link is curved to soften bar pressure, by spreading pressure over a larger surface area.

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.
