Actually it is chomping. it refers to the chewing action that a horse makes when it is anxious. to chomp is to bite down or gnaw...look it up. unless you are making reference to some other inside joke that I am not privy to, the term used is correct.
It's champing.
The word chomp is actually derived from champ. But champ isn't used much anymore, and the idiom has sort of been bastageized into "chomping at the bit." But the proper way to write it is still, technically, "champing at the bit."
