Tongue Relief Bits are specially designed to reduce pressure on the tongue, helping tongue sensitive horses feel more comfortable, relaxed, and responsive. These horses show signs of resistance when tongue pressure is too strong — such as head shaking, chomping, or trying to get the tongue over the bit. Tongue relief designs solve this by redistributing pressure onto the bars of the mouth, encouraging clearer communication between horse and rider.
Why Choose Tongue Relief Bits?
-
Comfort for the horse: Bits like the happy tongue eggbutt are some of the mildest available, only utilising clear, consistent bar pressure. Curved and well ported mouthpieces minimize tongue pressure, reducing stress and resistance.
-
Improved performance: Tongue sensitive horses often respond with softer contact, better acceptance of the bit, and enhanced focus.
-
Humane design: These bits are crafted to respect the horse’s anatomy, promoting welfare and minimising pressure.
