CHEEKPIECE - Kimblewick - As with the Pelham, the action of the Kimblewick is dependent upon the position of the riders hands. The rein slides on the Dee shaped bit ring. If the hands are lowered prior to pressure being applied to the reins, the rein will slide about an inch and the bit will assume roughly a 45° angle in the mouth. Causing 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. There are 3 rein settings which increase or decrease the pressure. Bombers would recommend this for the more experienced rider and for show jumping and eventing where the multiple pressure settings allow for quick adjustment.
The standard Kimblewick has a longer purchase which will give more poll and curb pressure than the “Kimblewick Lite” version. The Kiblewick has a similar action to the Pelham, although it has the added benefit of offering 3 positions to fit the rein in order adjust the poll pressure. The curb pressure is incurred by the use of a nylon curb strap. Supplied with a nylon curb strap. The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard (width 70mm, height 145mm, purchase 73mm) and a slightly smaller model for a pony (width 60mm, height 110mm, purchase 47mm).
Reins can be attached at:
Bigger ring = Removes the poll pressure decreasing the mouthpiece leverage.
Middle small ring = Introduces light poll pressure leveraging the mouthpiece.
Lower side small ring = Introduces poll pressure leveraging the mouthpiece.
