Watch LessonMullen
The Mullen is a strong bit which creates direct pressure on the tongue. Used to bring the head down.
Bomber would prefer to offer an alternative where possible. However, we find that some horses respond well to this, particularly the older horse that accepts tongue pressure.

Functionality
The Mullen applies pressure across the tongue and bars. Pressure applied to the tongue is direct and constant. The Mullen has been shaped to fit the curve of the horses mouth, this curve also allows pressure to be spread over a large surface area. Due to the mouthpiece being a solid, there will be no squeeze on the bars. The Mullen is available in Sweet Iron and Titanium. The Sweet Iron material was chosen as a metal option as it oxidizes. Oxidization encourages salivation and acceptance of the mouthpiece. The Titanium material was designed as an alternative metal option to sweet iron, this metal was specifically chosen due to its hypoallergenic nature. The Mullen is not flexible.
