Watch LessonElliptical Lock Up Comfy
The Elliptical Lock Up removes the nut cracker action or pinch of the conventional three piece, meaning less pressure on the bars. The bar pressure is slightly softened due the curve spreading pressure out over a larger surface area. The Elliptical Lock Up Comfy is therefore a softer option, than a conventional Elliptical, although stronger than a control plate.
Recommended by Bomber for tongue sensitive horses. This would be recommended for horses lifting, poking or flicking their heads.

Functionality
The Elliptical Lock Up Comfy creates a pressure point on the tongue due to the center component concentrating pressure on a small surface area. Pressure descends onto the bars and due to the mouthpiece being a semi-broken mouthpiece, it will hinder creating a squeeze on the bars – the extra piece of metal that has been added prevents the mouthpiece from folding backwards therefore creating little, to no squeeze on the bars. The Comfy curve was designed to spread pressure that is applied to the bars over a larger surface area, this decreases overall squeeze on the bars. The Elliptical Lock Up Comfy is available in Sweet Iron. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece. The semi-broken, Elliptical Lock Up Comfy, has limited movement.
