Bombers Eggbutt Happy Tongue
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.
The eggbutt provides much needed stability to the inconsistent horse.
