Full Cheek Happy Tongue
by Bombers Bits
A horse shaking its head when bit pressure is applied or its tongue trying to escape the bit are classic signs the horse has a sensitive tongue. With this in mind the Happy Tongue was created, it has a medium port creating space for the tongue, relieving pressure, allowing the horse to relax.
The Fulmer cheekpiece, will have the same effect as the traditional Eggbutt in so much as, it will prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth, however the extended pins above and below the bit, firstly prevent the bit being pulled through the mouth and secondly have the effect of guiding the horses head which is great for schooling and training purposes.
All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
- oxidises easily
- encourages salivation
- helps bit acceptance
- is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.

I have a 5 year old Welsh D with a fleshy tongue. I called The Horse bit bank for advice as he was crossing his jaw, sticking his Tongue out & dropping behind the bit to avoid contact all whilst in a mild loose ring jointed snaffle with a flash noseband. The Horse Bit Bank suggested a loose ring happy tongue bomber bit which we were able to have on a 30 day trial. It is not dressage legal but it is a step on the way for us and I now have a happy horse with a steady searching contact & the tongue only comes out occasionally in times of stress. We are ready to look at dressage legal bits now & I will be calling The Horse bit bank for their advice. 
I have tried all sorts of bits on my very sensitive mare, ive been using a dynamic eggbutt, i thought that was good until i tried the happy tongue full cheeks its made such a difference, my mare now walks like a horse and not a pony, thankyou very much The Horse Bit Bank
