Drop Cheek Happy Tongue

May 18, 2022 9:37 am Published by

Drop Cheek happy Tongue 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. 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.

Bombers Bit Weymouth Happy Tongue 75 STR SW

The Weymouth Happy Tongue STR SW, designed to be used in conjunction with a Bridoon in the Double Bridle. The Weymouth introduces both curb and poll pressure. The upper cheeks on our Weymouths are bent slightly outwards to allow room for the horse’s cheeks. It also has an oval top ring so the bridle’s cheek piece doesn’t interfere with the curb chain. The lower cheeks are 75 mm long. Supplied with English Curb Chain and hooks. In this Weymouth, the mouth piece is not fixed, so that the horse can decide where the mouth piece is most comfortable in its mouth. The port allows for tongue relief and the swiveling action reduces tongue pressure to a minimum. This is also an extremely effective bit for a horse with a low palette.

Happy Tongue T Bar Gag (POLO)

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 Big Ring Gag is stronger than the usual Loose Ring and Eggbutt as the ropes going through the rings create leverage which will exert more pressure through the mouthpiece whilst at the same time introducing more poll pressure.  These are generally used for Polo. The big ring creates more leverage making it stronger than the small ring version. The T-Bar was developed by Bomber for Polo, it will have the same effect as the traditional Fulmer in that it will prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth however the shortened and extended pins above and below the bit prevent the bit firstly being pulled through the mouth and secondly has the effect of guiding the horses head into the direction the bit is facing which is great for schooling and training purposes. The T-Bar has a Loose Ring fitting which allows for immediate release whilst the shortened pin extensions prevent it from being hooked up. 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.

Bombers Happy Tongue Weymouth

The Weymouth, or curb bit, in a double bridle consists of a mouthpiece with shanks and a curb chain. The Weymouth works on several parts of a horse's head and mouth. The bit mouthpiece acts on the bars, tongue and roof of the mouth. The shanks add leverage and place pressure on the poll via the crown piece of the bridle, to the chin groove via the curb chain, and, especially with a "loose jaw" shank, may act on the sides of the mouth and jaw. This mouthpiece is curved and softer than another Bombers Weymouth style called Happy Tongue Straight. Shank Size - 55mm or 75mm Supplied with English Curb Chain and hooks.
