BBHTHC Bombers Happy Tongue Hanging Cheek
Description
Key Features
The Drop Cheek has an Eggbutt like ring at the mouthpiece for the rein, with an upper cheek that has a ring at its end, to which the cheek piece of the bridle is attached. The mouthpiece does not slide on its ring resulting in light poll pressure. The cheek pieces lie flat against the horse’s face, and the mouthpiece is quite fixed in the mouth and concentrates pressure on the bars.
The Happy Tongue is a solid mouthpiece uniquely ported to give maximum tongue relief. The standard Happy Tongue is curved to be softer on the bars and slow in applying tongue pressure.
Cheekpiece
The cheekpiece is available in 2 sizes, standard and a slightly smaller model for a pony.
Mouthpiece
This is by far our most successful design – we recommend for all young horses and those that show tongue sensitive signs. The 4 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide. The Happy Tongue is also available as a straight mouthpiece which is slightly stronger
All our bits are made from blue sweet iron, because it:
Please note the blue will fade with use.
This bit is available with a 30-day trial

Customer Reviews
Average customer rating:
This bit has transformed my horse. She is a super sensitive mare and it has been the only bit she has been tolerable with for me to ride her in and it has completely improved her way of going. I have just ordered the next size down on a trial and hopefully we will have found our perfect bit :)
