The Weymouth Relaxed Performance Happy Tongue is a specially designed curb bit for horses that are too sensitive for a traditional curb bit. The lower shanks are 55mm long and provide a gentler leverage effect than bits with longer shanks.
The curb bit is designed to be used together with a bridoon bit when riding with a double bridle. The original curb bit is designed to apply pressure on the lower jaw and neck. By adding a spring-loaded movable part with Relaxed Performance, a milder bit has been developed.
The advantages of this include:
- Milder pressure on the lower jaw and neck
- Faster/Shorter rein release
- Provides a good balance between pressure, communication, and interaction between horse and rider.
Delivered with cheek chain and hooks.
"For horses that are not so comfortable with a curb, the feeling is significantly better. It's a bit like riding with a regular bridle, the horses approach the hand with greater confidence. From one of our test riders, we have also received very positive reactions for horses with tongue problems." - Madelene Engelke
This bit is designed by Bombers in collaboration with Saddle me/Carsten Engelke
