Happy Mouth Bits, The Apple Scented Bit Brand
Happy Mouth horse bits are extremely popular bits for both English and Western riders, due to their unique nature of coming in the most commonly used styles of horse bits. Happy Mouth bits are made from a soft space-age polymer material that is coated over a traditional stainless steel core. This plastic is durable while still being comfortable for horses, including young or sensitive-mouthed horses.
The polymer coating is apple scented which horses seem to really enjoy, promoting salivation and relaxation through the jaw and poll, which allows a horse to accept the bit and be happier during work. Happy Mouth horse bits are available in many styles, which encourages horses to play with the bit just enough to keep them relaxed and occupied, while still maintaining pressure across their tongue and lips. This poplar bit also comes in a D-ring snaffle bit which is a favorite among many hunter-jumper riders.
