2 1/2" Ring Happy Tongue 5"

Brand: The Tackeria

Product: 2 1/2" Ring Happy Tongue 5"

Product Description:

A Ring cheekpiece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece, the 2½ Ring version is the softest version of ring bit as the ½ ring softens the leverage on the mouthpiece and poll. The Happy Tongue is a solid mouth piece. It is curved and ported to give tongue relief. 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. Changing the cheekpieces would then allow the rider to adjust the level of control. Disclaimer: Sweet Iron will oxidize when it comes into contact with mositure, this oxidation process encourages salivation which improves acceptance of the bit. This process changes the blue colour of the Bomber bit to a brownish grey. If not used for a while, any build-up may be removed with a scourer and wiped with a damp cloth.
