Boyd Excell recommends this bit if the horse resists by grabbing onto the bit.

Key Features

A unique cheekpiece that removes poll pressure for horses that either get too low or cannot tolerate pressure placed on the poll.

The Bomber Blue is a unique bit which produces amazing results for the majority of horses. The mouthpiece is ported to give tongue relief. 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. The swivel mouthpiece can rotate on the horizontal, allowing the cheek piece to move independently, thereby the horse can set the port where it finds the mouthpiece most comfortable… removing further tongue pressure.

Cheekpiece

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX removes the poll pressure by allowing the bridle attachment to move.  This can increase the pressure through the curb and some leverage will still be applied to the mouthpiece.

Cheek pressure provides additional emphasis to the lateral aids.

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX is available with 2 or 3 slots to allow more options for increasing/decreasing pressure.  The cheekpiece is fixed.

Mouthpiece

The first choice for starting any young horse, it is easily accepted, it gives tongue relief, it’s light, non-metal and encourages salivation. If in doubt go with the Bombers suggested thickness for your width. The 4 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide.
