Bomber Blue Mouthpiece
Pressure Profile
Pressure Profile: Mild Severity | Port Provides Tongue Relief | Non-Metal Construction
What This Mouthpiece Delivers: The Bomber Blue is a ported mullen-style mouthpiece wrapped in a soft, non-metal synthetic material. This means your horse gets tongue relief from the port, combined with the warmth and softness of a non-metal bit. Many horses that reject cold metal respond positively to this gentler, warmer feel. It's designed for horses that want relief without sacrifice, and prefer the comfort of a non-metal mouthpiece.
Pressure Profile & Stability Explained: The port lifts away from the tongue, providing consistent relief overhead. The even bar pressure is delivered through the non-metal material, which is warmer to the touch and slightly softer than steel—horses often find this more inviting. No nutcracker action, no squeeze pressure; purely even bar contact + tongue relief. Many sensitive horses accept the Bomber Blue more readily because the material itself feels less harsh.
Best For Horses Who Prefer:
- Horses That Reject Cold Metal: Non-metal material is significantly warmer and often more acceptable to horses with metal sensitivity
- Highly Sensitive Horses Needing Confidence: The combination of non-metal feel + tongue relief creates an exceptionally welcoming bit
- Horses with Limited Mouth Space: The port opens overhead space for horses with high palates
- Horses That Respond to Comfort-First Training: The Bomber Blue feels more like an invitation than a tool
Why It Works When Pressure Profiles Match: When your horse's sensitivity isn't just about pressure mechanics but about the physical feel of metal, the Bomber Blue addresses both. The non-metal material + port combination says "you can relax, this won't hurt." For horses that tense at the touch of cold steel, this is often the breakthrough bit.
Discipline Applications:
- Dressage: The warmth and gentleness support relaxation and connection
- Leisure Riding: Perfect for horses where comfort and partnership matter more than precision
- Problem-Solving: Often effective with horses that have had negative experiences with metal bits
- Young Horses: The non-metal feel is often gentler for introducing young horses to bit work
Key Advantage: Bomber Blue offers something unique: tongue relief + non-metal warmth + even bar pressure. If your horse's issue is sensitivity to metal itself (not just pressure mechanics), this bit often solves the problem entirely.
Important Note: Non-metal bits require different care than steel—they're durable but need hand-washing rather than harsh cleaning. The material is also slightly softer, which some horses find more comfortable but which requires attention to wear over time.
