Bombers Weymouth F55 Generous Port
The Bombers Weymouth F55 Generous Port combines a stable fixed cheek with a mouthpiece designed to accommodate horses that have limited space inside the mouth. The low, squashed port follows the mouth’s natural contour, creating additional room for the tongue without intended palate involvement.
Pressure is distributed across the tongue and bars, making the Generous Port particularly suitable for horses that display a combination of tongue and bar sensitivity. The flat-sided cheek is fixed directly to the mouthpiece, helping the bit sit snugly and reducing unnecessary movement.
The 55mm shanks introduce leverage while applying pressure to the poll through the bridle and to the chin groove through the supplied curb chain. This configuration is intended for use as the Weymouth component of a correctly fitted double bridle.
