The right bit

[Hampshire Lass]

I am wanting to break my Dartmoor Hill Pony to harness but he keeps chomping and getting his tongue over the bit, he starts to do this as soon as I put the bridle on him. I have tried a fulmer with a lozenge and a straight bar Liverpool Driving Bit. Has anyone any advice please

This

Tongue Port Rubber

Tongue Port Rubber this rubber tongue port to attach to your bit to stop the animal putting their tongue over the bit.

There’s a few types to chose from

First muse absolutely sure the bit is fitted correctly so that the sides of the mouth are slightly crinkly (if you see what I mean)

I have a tongue port but I have been told it should only be used on a temporary basis until a bit has been found. When I put the bit in there are two wrinkles at the side of his mouth.

I use a Myler ported snaffle and it stopped mine wanting to get his tongue over it.

Zilco do a bit lifter, similar to worcester noseband, which will fit onto your current driving bridle.
