Bombers Drop cheek Snaffle
Bombers Drop cheek Snaffle
Bombers Drop cheek has an eggbitt ring that the reins are attached to and a small upper leg that the side piece of the bridle is attached to. Since the mouthpiece cannot slide on the rings, a small, small pressure is created on the neck. The side pieces lie flat and still against the horse's face and the mouthpiece lies very still in the mouth. The pressure ends up mostly on the reins. Used without a cheek chain. Also called a Baucher bit. Snaffle is a popular bit thanks to the curved mouthpieces that distribute the pressure more evenly over the tongue and reins. This reduces the nutcracker effect and pressure on the tongue.
