The straight version is slightly stronger than the curved Happy Tongue but suits a horse with a short mouth / smile. The forward angle encourages the nose to extending slightly past the vertical.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 Petros mouthpieces rotate preventing the horse taking hold of the bit.
