Bombers Bits Colin Miles Kimblewick Bit

As with the Pelham, the action of the Colin Miles Kimblewick is dependent upon the position of the riders hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring on the Open Flip Kimblewick.If the hands are lowered before pressure is applied to the reins, the rein will slide about an inch and the bit will assume roughly a 45° angle in the mouth.

This causes the mouthpiece to act in a downward and backward motion on the lower jaw. This is complemented by a downward pressure on the poll, giving the bit a lowering action. Also, it is supplied with nylon backstrap.

The Colin Miles is a fabulous schooling bit with a 55mm centre piece creating greater tongue pressure and reducing bar pressure. As a result, the rings give the horse something to play with and help keep the horse’s focus on the bit.

This particular joint exerts more pressure than the Control Plate or Elliptical.Additionally, all our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:

• Oxidises easily
• Stimulates salivation
• Helps bit acceptance
• Is warm and sweet

Please note the blue will fade with use.
