Bombers BC45 Control Plate Curb Gag

 

The True Blue

Peter Bomber Nel owner of Bombers Bits, designs and manufacturers the unique True Blue Bit. Their Bits are handmade originals and made from the finest materials. We also have our Bespoke Service for those wanting something special! Please contact us with your requirements.

Sweet Iron

 

All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

  • oxidises easily
  • encourages salivation
  • helps bit acceptance
  • is warm and sweet

Please note the blue will fade with use.

 

Control Plate Mouthpiece

 

The Bombers Control Plate is set at 45 to follow the contour of the horses tongue.

Consequently,a horse who uses 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.

This differs from a Dr Bristol which sits horizontlaly with the edge of the plate on the tongue.

 

Curb Gag

 

The Curb Gag is a new addition to Bombers, this cheek piece uses the concept of a Rope gag and instead of using that pressure to apply poll it is used to apply curb pressure, from the second/bottom rein, although poll is not removed as there is a similar action to the Portuguese/Ring or Drop/Hanging cheek on the bit/top rein. A ring can be added to the bottom to create more poll pressure.

 

NB:  A Curb Gag is designed to be used with two reins. In
fact British Eventing will not allow any horse to take
part in the X Country phase of an event, with one of these bits,
without using two reins.  Use of only one rein can risk weakening/failure of the gag rope  – no
responsibility can be accepted if these bits are not used
correctly.

30 Day Trial Terms & Conditions – UK & NI

The trial fee varies per product as this price is related to the retail price.

  • Please take care of the bit, as it is the customer’s – (the holder of the account that the bit is purchased on) responsibility to make sure that the bit is kept in good condition throughout the trial period and thereafter. The customer is also responsible that the bit is kept safe from theft and loss as without return of the bit no refund will be issued.
  • It is recommended that the bits are returned via a tracked postal facility as The Horse Bit Shop cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in the post when being returned.
  • On return of bits on 30 day trial you will receive a refund for the price of the bit minus the trial fee. No trial fee is charged for a bit not returned to us.
  • We operate a bit library and therefore the trial bit you receive may not be new but will have been fully sterilised and be fit for purpose.  If you have received a trial bit there is an option to exchange it for a brand new bit before the end of the trial period should you decide to keep the bit.
  • Normal wear is accepted on returned bits however we ask that they be returned clean and dry and fit for purpose.  Bits should not be put in the dishwasher or cleaned with abrasive material as this can damage the material.
  • The 30 day trial is not available on every bit.  Any item that does not allow you to select the ‘With 30 day trial’ option is purchase only.
  • Trials are not offered on any non-metal bit due to the fact they are not as resistant to wear and tear and cannot be sterilised to the required standards.
  • On occasion we offer trials on other items (not bits).  The terms and conditions remain the same.
  • Shipping via Royal Mail Tracked 48 is included as standard.  Tracked 24 or courier can be arranged upon request but will be subject to any extra cost.

30 Day Trial Period

  • The trial period ends 30 days following the date of dispatch and this is the return date by which the item should reach The Horse Bit Shop.
  • Dates to which the bit should be returned may be subject to change if the day falls on a Public Holiday.
  • The Horse Bit Shop reserves the right to charge extra trial fees or refuse refund if the bit is returned late.

36 Day Trial Period – Other Countries (Worldwide)

  • For other countries where shipping times are longer, the trial period will be increased to a maximum of 36 days according to the current postal delivery times. The 36 day trial period will commence from the date that The Horse Bit Shop posts the bit.  This will be the date of the email automatically sent to advise dispatch.
  • Shipping via Royal Mail International Tracked is included as standard.  Shipping via Courier can be arranged upon request but will be subject to any extra costs.
  • Any customs import charges imposed by the receiving Country are payable by the recipient.
  • Any returned bits are expected to be returned via airmail, as surface mail can take up to 50 days for some countries. Please allow plenty time for the bit to reach the UK as  you will not be entitled to a refund until the bit is returned, even if the bit is in transit. The Horse Bit Shop cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage in the post when being returned.
  • Please ensure that any customs paperwork is filled in correctly and marked as a returned item as we will not be liable for paying or refunding any import charges.
  • Upon successful return of bits on trial you will receive a refund for the price of the bit minus the trial fee. No trial fee is charged for a bit not returned to us.
  • Normal wear is accepted on returned bits however we ask that they be returned clean and dry and fit for purpose.  Bits should not be put in the dishwasher or cleaned with abrasive material as this can damage the material.
  • The trial option is not available on every bit.  Any item that does not allow you to select the ‘With 30 day trial’ option is purchase only.
  • Trials are not offered on any non-metal bit due to the fact they are not as resistant to wear and tear and cannot be sterilised to the required standards.
  • We aim to send brand new bits to alleviate the necessity to return to exchange for new however this may not always be possible.  All bits sent will be fit for purpose and fully sanitised.
  • On occasion we offer trials on other items (not bits).  The terms and conditions remain the same.
