Key Features
The DC Dressage was designed to remove as many pressures as possible, creating a safe comfortable communication. The key feature of the cheekpiece is the loose ring which attaches to the bridle, which can also rotate, ensuring the poll and cheek area is relieved from any rein engagement. The reins are attached to the large dee, which swings open independently of the cheekpiece. The mouthpiece is fixed to the cheekpiece, with a solid surface area to encourage flexion.
The Happy Tongue Straight is a solid mouth bit which is ported to relieve tongue pressure but is not curved. This makes it slightly harsher than the curved Happy Tongue. The swivel mouthpiece can rotate on the horizontal, allowing the cheek piece to move independently, thereby the horse can set where it finds the mouthpiece most comfortable… removing tongue pressure.
Sweet Iron
Sweet iron will oxidize when it comes into contact with moisture, this oxidation process encourages salivation which improves acceptance of the bit.
This process changes the blue colour of the Bomber bit to a brownish grey. If not used for a while, any build-up may be removed with a scourer and wiped with a damp cloth.
All Bombers bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it: oxidises easily, encourages salivation, helps bit acceptance, is warm and sweet.
Cheekpiece
Please ensure this bit is fitted tightly so there is no sideways movement of the mouthpiece, further to this point Bomber suggests using a bit strap.
This cheekpiece was designed to work with a solid ported mouthpiece that swivels, so it can naturally adjust with the horses movements, maintaining a comfortable position.
Mouthpiece
The 4 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide.
