Boyd Exell recommends this bit for the horse that needs relief when the contact gets strong.

Key Features

A unique cheekpiece that removes poll pressure for horses that either get too low or cannot tolerate pressure placed on the poll.

The Happy Tongue Straight is a solid mouth bit which is ported to relieve tongue pressure but is not curved. This makes it slightly harsher than the curved Happy Tongue. The swivel mouthpiece can rotate on the horizontal, allowing the cheek piece to move independently, thereby the horse can set where it finds the mouthpiece most comfortable… removing tongue pressure.

Cheekpiece

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX removes the poll pressure by allowing the bridle attachment to move.  This can increase the pressure through the curb and some leverage will still be applied to the mouthpiece.

Cheek pressure provides additional emphasis to the lateral aids.

The BE Liverpool Swinging Purchase FX is available with 2 or 3 slots to allow more options for increasing/decreasing pressure.  The cheekpiece is fixed.

Mouthpiece

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.
