The Happy Tongue 2.5 Ring by Bombers Bit is made for when a horse is shaking its head when bit pressure is applied. If its tongue is trying to escape the bit, these 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.
Hence, Happy Tongue is a solid mouth piece. It is curved and ported to give tongue relief.
Furthermore, a Ring cheek piece introduces poll pressure as well creating leverage on the mouthpiece, the 2 ½ ring version is the softest version of ring bit as the ½ ring softens the leverage on the mouthpiece and poll.
Please note the blue will fade with use.

Bomber Bits Waterford Wilkie utilises pressure on the poll and raising the bit in the horse’s mouth to achieve additional control. It does this without resorting to a stronger mouthpiece.
The Waterford bit has many smooth flexible bumps or bubbles. This spreads the pressure over many points making it a light mouthpiece. The greater flexibility discourages a horse from leaning on it.
The Waterford bit is a good choice for a horse that leans, it also promotes mouthing and salivation. The Waterford is usually worn ¼” – ½” longer than your traditional mouthpiece in order to curl around the lips and maximise the effect
The loose ring is the most popular cheek piece. The sliding action of the ring makes it less likely for your horse to be able to lean or block through the rein.
The NS Demi Anky Universal offers control without discomfort or severity.
Offers control without discomfort or severity. Although single jointed, the NS Demi-Anky is ergonomically designed to eradicate the nutcracker action and consequent evasions that the traditional straight-armed single jointed snaffle often causes. It is brilliant for faster work such as jumping as you can turn much more easily. The Universal also helps to eliminate the head toss when asking for a downward transition, or shortening in between fences. If you need to upgrade from a snaffle, it is highly recommended as it offers varying degrees of control.
Very popular in the show ring – Need more control than an ordinary snaffle?

Make the first start the right start –establish the basics. The Starter is designed to promote acceptance and confidence in the contact. It is a common misconception that mouthing should be encouraged, when in fact it is quiet, relaxed acceptance we are aiming for. A gentle bit that encourages the horse to stretch the top line forwards and down into a soft consistent contact.

Need a lighter forehand? Heavy on the forehand or possibly inclined to snatch and pull you out of the saddle?
The loose ring is more flexible, discouraging the horse from leaning, which may happen with a fixed cheek. The two rein options will allow the rider to have varying degrees of control being able to differentiate between the snaffle rein and the running cheek rein that provides poll pressure. However, many riders successfully only employ the running cheek rein which maximises on control and lift from the shoulder. Use either in conjunction with our own rolled leather cheeks, aesthetically pleasing and softer in their action, or our rope cheeks that have a faster action.
This combination of Baucher cheek and NS Tranz mouthpiece usually helps the rider to achieve and maintain a rounder and more correct outline. If your horse is constantly resisting, strung out or coming above the bit the usual response to the NS Tranz Baucher is a head lowering action and softer feel through the rein. This design often proves beneficial for the over sensitive mouth. Highly recommended where help is needed for straightness and directional control.

Very beneficial for horses that lean in a standard Pelham. Innovative lightweight, elegant cheek design.
An innovative lightweight, elegant cheek design very popular in the show ring incorporating the NS Tranz mouthpiece. This Pelham is designed to be comfortable promoting a rounder outline whilst also encouraging more freedom through the shoulder. Often sourced for control and self-carriage, this Pelham usually gives more feel and response as opposed to a standard solid mouthpiece that often results in fixing and blocking, culminating in a ‘wooden’ feel.
