Key Features

The Stockman is a leverage bit, meaning that it multiplies the pressure applied by the rider.

The shorter the shank:

• the more force is needed on the reins to provide a given amount of pressure on the mouth.
• the bits only need to rotate a short distance before applying pressure on the horse’s mouth
• the horse has less warning in a short shanked bit.

The curved shank is conducive to a nose-out head position when working.

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 standard size Stockman has 2 length shanks. The longer shank allows for more hand movement and slows the leveraging of the pressure points.

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 a nylon back strap.
