Hiya, my horse gets his tongue over the bit when he gets excted and as a result he then pulls his head down and pulls me out of the saddle and is then very lively. I take him hunting and its his favourite trick. tried a double and he is better, but i dont want to hunt all day with two reins. Has anyone got any suggestions. I hunt him in a ported kimblewith and a flash. He does have a fleshy tongue, but this is just an excitement thing as he doesnt do it in a double. I bought a tongue loller, do you think it will help.
Help please, as my arms are almost pulled from the sockets!!!

Its says that the hartwell is not for horses that lean on the bit and he gets his tongue over and then leans on the bit. Is a myler any good. if so, which one?

Mariem, whats a bit rap- a tongue loller? Tried a myler pelham with the very high port. he didnt like it too much and was striking out while i was in canter!! I shall try this with an elastic curb and see how he goes.........

a cosquero polo bit is very useful, its a pelham with quite a high port with rolls on it, as your planning to hunt you may like to know a number of working hunters i know use it, townfield saddlers have it. used with roundings so no double reins, gives great brakes too!

For schooling you might try a spoon bit they are very effective.

Years ago I would buy a special rubber thing (cant remember what it was called ~ 'tongue gaurd'!) you could thread it onto your bit be it a snaffle or straight bar bit and it would stop the horse/pony from putting its tongue over the bit... not sure if you can still get them tho.

sorry haven't been about for a day or two- yes I would ride in it all the time- did with a particular naughty thoroughbred for a hunting season and the following summer- till she got out of it- up to you- just a suggestion- why not try it? hack out in it first- see if it makes a difference.
