Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Tongue Port is designed for horses that tend to lift their tongue over the bit, a common issue leading to discomfort and potentially hindering performance. This product provides a solution by widening the bit, making it difficult for the horse to displace it. However, it's crucial to ensure proper fit and monitor the horse's reaction as they adjust to the new bit.
