The Happy Tongue is by far the most successful Bombers Bits Design.

It is a solid mouthpiece uniquely ported to give maximum tongue relief and curved to be softer on the bars and slow in applying tongue pressure.

The Happy Tongue would be a good place to start if your horse is:

  • Shaking its head
  • Sticking its tongue out
  • Sucking its tongue back and as a result, making an intermittent coughing noise
  • Trying to put its tongue over the bit
  • Going behind the bit to avoid the contact
  • Snatching the reins forward and down

The rider will know immediately if this is the correct bit, as a horse with a sensitive tongue will finally begin to work into and accept the contact. 

Key Features

The Eggbutt cheek piece prevents pinching of the lips and gives a solid feel against the side of the face. It also prevents the bit being pulled through the mouth. The release is slower than the loose ring and also introduces light 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.

NOTE: This style should sit snug on the horse, so the port does not move sideways. over the tongue and bars of the horse's mouth.

My mare loves it!

My trainer and I were discussing changing bits and came across the happy tongue. We think my mare may have had some nerve damage from having her tongue tied during her racing career, and in this bit she’s been able to ride around with her tongue free to her content! My girl is super soft in her mouth and so far she’s gone great in the new bit. Very happy!

Perfect but for hard-to-fit pony!

This bit has been a lifesaver for my sensitive hard-to-fit, fat lipped, low palate, fat tongued pony!

Good product and easy purchase

This bit hasn't solved all my goofy horse's issues, but it is definitely his favorite but to date. He is responding to it well, and it is a quality product. And the purchase was smooth.
