Bombers Pelham Bomber
Best gentle communication for sensitive horses and discerning riders.
Designed for strong horses, this bit uses direct tongue pressure to encourage a lower head carriage. The unique oxidizing material creates a warm, sweet taste that promotes salivation and improves acceptance, making it a comfortable alternative for horses sensitive to standard metal.
