Key Features

The Chifney is used for leading spirited horses and ponies. It is often used with stallions. The Chifney attaches to a halter by the two side rings and a lead rope attaches to the single bottom ring. It is quite a harsh bit, designed to put pressure on the tongue if the horse rears or gets ahead of the handler. It is intended only as an in-hand bit.

The Happy Tongue is a solid mouthpiece uniquely ported to give maximum tongue relief. The standard Happy Tongue is curved to be softer on the bars and slow in applying tongue pressure.

Mouthpiece

This is by far our most successful design  –  we recommend for all young horses and those that show tongue sensitive signs. The 4 available ports have been scaled according to each width. This ensures accurate fitting over the bars and eliminates the rocking movement which occurs when the port is too wide. The Happy Tongue is also available as a straight mouthpiece which is slightly stronger.
