BBHTLRE Bombers Loose ring Eggbutt Happy Tongue
Description
The Eggbutt Loose Ring prevents pinching of the lips and gives a more solid feel against the side of the face. It prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The Loose Ring allows quick release and no poll pressure.
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:
- oxidises easily
- encourages salivation
- helps bit acceptance
- is warm and sweet
Please note the blue will fade with use.

Customer Reviews
Average customer rating:
I had spent months of trying different bits on my young cob with no success, terrible head shaking and getting his tongue over the bits meant I had no breaks and was being pulled out of the saddle constantly. We tried a french link snaffle, happy mouth, neue schule verbindend and tranz angles lozenge with no joy. I was so happy that the bit bank recommended the Bombers Happy Tongue it has transformed my riding and I now have a happy comfortable horse. Thank you
I bought this for my welsh sec d. He has a very large tongue and fleshy lips. He works very nicely in this bit and we now have a more consistent outline in canter. I will definitely be buying the pelham version for showing.
My horse is a chunky chap (Foundation Quarter horse) converting from western to English. He has a short neck which he used to block contact. He has a fat tongue and looks like a Welsh Cob.
He was able to take the contact forward and down and also move laterally which is quite a miracle.
He and I love this bit, the loose rings are great and the wings protect the corners of his mouth.
