Bombers Bits Eggbutt Elliptical Lock Up

Bombers Bits Eggbutt Elliptical Lock Up

The Eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching of the lips and give a slightly more solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower and also introduces some poll pressure.  The Elliptical Lock Up is a double break bit with a "locked" lozenge in the center. It is stronger than the Control Plate due to it having a smaller surface area. Consequently, a horse using his tongue as a means of pushing against the bit and therefore taking control, will draw back and tuck his chin in, coming back to a better point of control.

Our pony bits feature cheekpieces that are a ¾ scale version of our standard bits.

By Locking up the Elliptical joint, it removes any nutcracker action, meaning it will bear less pressure on the horse's bars. It in turn applies more tongue pressure than the Ported Kernel making it a stronger bit.
