Bombers Weymouth Dressage Port

Bomber Weymouth Dressage Port. Brand new! Available in 55mm or 75mm shank length options.

The Weymouth works on several parts of a horse’s head and mouth. The shanks add leverage, and place pressure on the poll via the poll strap of the bridle and to the chin groove via the curb chain. The Weymouth F55 and F75 are made with a flat surface, fixed to the mouthpiece, allowing for a snug fit that is stable and encourages precision flexion. The Dressage Port allows for tongue relief and is angled slightly forward. The forward angle discourages the horse from pushing its nose too far out in front of the vertical.

Cheekpiece

The width of a Weymouth, should be slightly smaller than the bridoon, we suggest 5mm. The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard and a slightly smaller model for a pony. The standard size Weymouth has 2 length shanks. The longer shank allows for more hand movement and slows the leveraging of the pressure points.

Mouthpiece

The 3 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide. The Dressage Port allows for tongue relief and is angled slightly forward. The forward angle discourages the horse from pushing its nose too far out in front of the vertical. Bomber developed this mouthpiece in collaboration with Paul Fielder, renowned International Dressage Instructor and would recommend it for a horse with a narrow lower jaw and fleshy lips.
