The Happy Mouth Loose Ring Peanut Bit features an apple-scented, tough, non-toxic, flexible mouth with reinforcing stainless steel.
The loose ring snaffles create a more mobile bit than an eggbutt or fixed cheek bit, encouraging your horse to maintain a relaxed jaw and mouth the bit. The loose ring may be useful if your horse leans on the bit or takes hold, as the bit is always movable, making it harder for the horse to take hold compared to a fixed cheek. This bit is also useful for gaining contact, as the movable mouthpiece enables the bit to fit the mouth, contour the tongue's natural position, and sit comfortably.
The roller mouthpiece bits have proven to be among the most popular. This bit has an oval-shaped link in the center, made from the Happy Mouth material, which is movable and rolls around the stainless steel center. It has two joints, distributing the bit's pressure over both the tongue and bars of the mouth. Because the mouthpiece has two joints, it should not cause any interference with the roof of the mouth. The roller uses tongue pressure to encourage the horse to go on the bit and lower the head; it applies bar and lip pressure but not a squeezing action like that of a bit with a single joint. The more joints a bit has, the less likely the horse is to lean, as the bit becomes more mobile. The roller also encourages mouthing and acceptance, as the horse can play with the roller and be kept content.
