Key Features

A gag works by lifting the bit in the mouth in order to encourage the head to be raised. Often used on strong horses that like to lower their heads in order to escape the action of the bit in the mouth and get very strong. When pressure is applied to the rein, the bit is lifted in the mouth and poll pressure is applied. The bit also rotates slightly in the mouth putting more pressure on the tongue and bars. To be correctly used, it must be used with two reins one on the gag and one on the bit, only bringing the gag rein into play when needed, although most people ride on the gag rein only.

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. Supplied with gag ropes.

Mouthpiece

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.

Supplied with show jumping gag ropes.
