Loose Ring Happy Tongue

by Bombers Bits

Loose Ring Happy Tongue

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 Loose Ring allows for immediate release and relief from tongue and bar pressure which will reset the bit in the horses mouth. 

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.

" Ihave been working my pony in this bit for just over a month now and i am delighted with the improvement and above all a sense of his comfort.Yogi ( 12h welsh x , 13yrs old) has a large tongue.This bit gives him greater comfort which in turn gives a lovely elastic feel when he is both ridden & long reined.I wish i had used this company much earlier to trial & purchase their offered products.Yogi would have been much happier sooner.very many thanks "

" this bit is brilliant-I have an anglo arab mare who has a very light mouth and was reluctant to accept the contact.I tried everything without success until I found this bit.She is much more stable in the rein,much stiller in her head,transitions are far better and she is really chilled out working now.The bit is a lovely comfortable fit and is very lightweight.Delighted and would recommend to anyone. "

" Just to say thanks for the bit- I shall be very happily keeping both. My highland has a very fleshy tongue and little room in his mouth. He is no longer head shaking and tail swishing. My weekday helper has ridden him in this and agrees he is great in it. Thanks for the help- I am a great fan of Bomber Bits "

" I have had the Bomber Happy Tongue bit for a week now and I just cannot get over the improvement in that week. My mare was extremely fussy in her mouth and resisted anything with a lozenge or peanut in her mouth to the point were she leaned so hard into the contact I had no control. She also would try to put her tongue over the bit and loll her tongue out the side of the mouth to avoid all contact. At times she would throw her head about so much I risked my nose. With your help and fantastic advice I tried the bomber happy tongue loose ring eggbutt. I now when tacking up do not have a horse with an outstretched neck, opening its mouth so wide in total resentment of the bit. I have a happy mare who takes the bridle and does not back off and content enough to wear a flash to teach her she does not have to evade the contact. This is now slowly being weaned off a hole at a time and I have no need for the martingale as she now rides into the contact soft and low, instead of hollowing her back and putting her head in the air. Jumping is a delight as she is so soft in her mouth she is much calmer and content in a rhythm as readily accepts the contact. No more leaning, pulled arms, flailing head and unhappy horse, I have a horse that is now willing to work and concentrating on me and not her mouth. I am looking forward to what else is in store and definitely a convert to Bomber bits and cannot thank you enough for a fantastic service (even contacting me through the Christmas holidays) and swift delivery. "
