Bomber Fulmer Loose Ring Snaffle Bit
A schooling essential trusted by riders at every level — the Bomber Fulmer Loose Ring Snaffle Bit combines the directional benefits of the Fulmer cheekpiece with the soft, encouraging action of a loose ring snaffle. The result is a bit that guides, communicates, and invites acceptance rather than demanding it.
The Fulmer Cheekpiece
The Fulmer's extended pins above and below the mouthpiece serve a dual purpose that makes it a standout choice for training:
- Prevents pinching at the corners of the mouth for a comfortable, worry-free fit
- Stops the bit from being pulled through the mouth, keeping it stable and correctly positioned at all times
- Aids lateral steering — the extended pins gently guide the horse's head in the direction of the rein, making it an exceptional tool for horses still learning to respond to directional aids
Loose Ring Action — Freedom & Acceptance
The loose ring configuration keeps the bit mobile within the mouth, which naturally encourages horses to mouth and accept the bit rather than brace against it. This freedom of movement also removes poll pressure, creating a lighter, more inviting contact — ideal for horses that are tense, resistant, or just beginning their training.
The Bomber Snaffle Mouthpiece
Bomber's curved snaffle mouthpiece is designed with the horse's anatomy in mind:
- The curved profile distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, significantly reducing the nutcracker action found in straighter joints
- The offset centre link eliminates the pinching pressure point that typically falls on the centre of the tongue in a standard jointed snaffle
- For horses that run with their head down or trail on the forehand, the reduced nutcracker action encourages the horse to lift through the neck — offering a practical schooling solution without resorting to more severe equipment
- An optional extra-curved mouthpiece is available for horses that benefit from an even more comfortable bend, further reducing pinch and spreading pressure more evenly across the bars
