Bowman Arch Mouth Half Cheek

The Bowman Arch Mouth is a Chimacum Tack Favorite Single Driving Bit.  This mouthpiece is standard in the stainless steel alloy with copper inlays.

This bit will not have any leverage since it’s a half cheek. This mouthpiece is a comfortable style for the horse that doesn’t like tongue pressure.

Standard sizes are:

--> Mini: 3 /12″, 3 3/4″, 4″ (the diameter of these mouthpieces will be 3/8″)

You can special order the custom sizes below or the brass or sweet iron alloys for a 30% up charge with a 12 week wait by emailing me at mindy@chimacumtack.com.

Custom Sizes:

--> Pony: 4 1/2″, 4 3/4″ (the diameter of these mouthpieces will be 7/16″)

--> Horse: 5″, 5 1/4″ (the diameter of these mouthpieces will be 1/2″)

--> Draft: 5 1/2″, 6″ (the diameter of these mouthpieces will be 9/16″)

Bowman bits will now have a flat rate shipping charge of $15 per bit, when purchased one at a time. These will be shipped by Fed Ex Express, 2 day mail. This shipping charge reflects that shipping upgrade. Thank you so much for understanding!
