The Weymouth, or curb bit, in a double bridle consists of a mouthpiece with shanks and a curb chain. The Weymouth works on several parts of a horses head and mouth.
The bit mouthpiece acts on the bars, tongue and roof of the mouth. The shanks add leverage and place pressure on the poll via the crownpiece of the bridle, to the chin groove via the curb chain, and, especially with a loose jaw shank, may act on the sides of the mouth and jaw.
This mouthpiece is curved and softer than another Bombers Weymouth style called Happy Tongue Straight. Supplied with English Curb Chain and hooks.
Bombers 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.
