BBEG00BEL The Eggbutt cheek piece prevents pinching of the lips and delivers a solid feel against the side of the face, while stopping the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower than a loose ring and introduces light poll pressure for refined control. The Elliptical mouthpiece is stronger than the Control Plate, concentrating pressure onto a smaller surface area—ideal for horses that push the bit with their tongue. This design encourages the horse to lower its head and tuck its chin, finding better balance and control. Bomber recommends this conventional mouthpiece for both schooling and competition. It applies sharper pressure to the tongue and similar pressure to the bar, effectively bringing the head down. The nylon composite material is light in the mouth and encourages salivation, making it particularly well suited to horses that object to metal mouthpieces. Built on a stainless-steel spine with injection-molded Bomber Blue nylon, it creates a smooth, sleek profile with an ergonomic shape that sits comfortably without unnecessary pressure points.
