Riding hats must be returned in a box (in addition to their own box) which must be well-padded to prevent damage during transit. Riding hats will not be accepted for return if they are returned using inadequate packaging.

If you have received the goods before you cancel your contract then (unless purchasing non-returnable items for which you do not have a right to cancel) you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your contract but we have already processed the goods for delivery you must not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk within 14 days from the date that you tell us you are cancelling your contract.

On receipt of the goods and after inspection we will credit you the amount you paid for the goods.

Bombers Happy Tongue Fulmer Bit

Season:Core

Brand:Bombers

Code:BOMFULHTONG

The Bombers Happy Tongue Eggbutt Bit features a solid mouthpiece that is uniquely ported to give maximum tongue relief. This is curved to be soft on the bars and slow in applying tongue pressure.

Made from a blue sweet iron, it oxidises easily which encourages salivation and encourages your horse to accept the bit as it is warm and sweet.

It is a popular design recommended by Bombers for all young horses and those that show tongue sensitive signs. These signs can include a horse:

  • Shaking its head.
  • Sticking its tongue out.
  • Sucking its tongue back and as a result making an intermittent coughing noise.
  • Trying to put its tongue over the bit.
  • Going behind the bit to avoid the contact.
  • Snatching the reins forward and down.

Fulmer cheek pieces will prevent pinching on the sides of the mouth, and the extended pins above and below the bit prevent it being pulled through the horse's mouth and also aid guiding the horse's head which is great for schooling purposes. As with an eggbutt bit, the release is slower than a loose ring and also introduces light poll pressure.

    • Blue sweet iron
    • Curved mouthpiece
    • Encourages salivation
    • Allows for immediate release and relief from tongue and bar pressure

    Please note: Sweet iron bits are designed to oxidise which naturally forms a sweet-taste, whichstimulates salivation to encourage acceptance. This can cause the colour of the bit to change (or appear rusty) with use. This is not harmful to the horse, and is a desired effect of sweet iron bits due to the nature of the metal.

    Professional Opinion

    "I like Bombers bits, and their premise of reducing mouth pressures and starting from a place of comfort for the horse, and working with equine dental technicians to understand more about each horse’s mouth conformation. One of my top rides, Evento, has the Bombers Ultra Comfy Lock Up bit for dressage, which has a generous curve to follow the shape of the horse’s mouth. It removes the nut cracker action of a traditional snaffle, providing less pressure on the horse’s bars." - Francis Whittington, Eventer


    "Many sensitive horses react negatively to pressure placed on the tongue. Hence, I am a big fan of the new breed of swivel bits. I like the Bomber Blue DC Morgan, as I find that the young horses don’t tend to ‘set’ or brace themselves on the contact; it helps prevent them getting their tongue over the bit, and keeps any poll pressure stable, helping to keep them relaxed and ‘round’ in front of the fence. The Bomber Blue is not ridged or rough, and it’s made of a soft material; so it’s not confrontational. A sensitive-mouthed or green horse doesn’t tend to drop behind the contact with these swivel bits. The DC Morgan, also available in a sweet iron Happy Tongue, is very useful for a youngster that’s not used to poll leverage. It is also good for teaching directional aids to a young horse when jumping, as the side elements swivel, yet the bit stays still. The five-year olds haven’t really got a mouth yet, and the DC Morgan allows them to place the bit where they want in the mouth." - Hayden Hankey, Eventer


    "We like the DC Dressage and DC Morgan bits. We find that these are excellent for horses that have sensitive mouths. The swivel elements of the DC bits relieve a lot of pressure. The loose ring attaches directly to the bridle, and can rotate, ensuring that the poll and cheek areas are relieved from any rein engagement. You get nice flexion, and much fewer pressure points than with other cheekpieces. The reins attach to the ‘dee’, which swings open independently of the cheekpiece. Although it’s kind enough to be ‘legal’ in dressage circles, the DC Dressage can be really good for the strong horses, as they face it. Lots of horses don’t face the bit; they can back off the contact, and not want to race and take the contact forward – they can get behind the bridle. With the DC Bomber Bits, you have control, and the horses really seem to go forward – it must be comfy for them.” - Maureen Haggas, Part of Haggas racehorse training team and former British Eventer
