The Bombers Waterford Loose Ring Snaffle mouthpiece is made up of a series of ball links, making it flexible in all directions. It has many flexible parts, which spread the pressure around the horse's mouth, encouraging mouthing and salivating while deterring the horse from leaning on the bit.
As there is nothing rigid for the horse to latch on to, the Waterford can be very useful for giving the rider extra control on horses that tend to lean on the bit, set their jaw or take hold of the bit. It is suitable for most types of mouth conformation, including horses with large tongues.
The blue sweet iron mouthpiece from Bombers Bits oxidises easily, creating a warm, sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit.
The loose rings keep the bit mobile in the horse's mouth, promoting further softening to the contact. They also allow immediate release of tongue and bar pressure when the rein aids cease, thus rewarding a correct response to commands.
The Waterford is usually worn 1/4in to 1/2in longer than your traditional mouthpiece in order to curl around the lips and maximise the effect.
Please note that the blue will fade with use.
