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 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.

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

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.

Supplied with a nylon back strap and orange bit rubbers.
