"My mare has a funy mouth, she can be very dull, put also requires something gentle in her mouth and not a lot of rein contact. I got this bit and she loved it! When I would take the bridle off she wouldn't let go of it.
However, if you have a horse with a busy mouth, aka chewers, I would NOT recommend this bit at all. The plastic is not durable enough and she grabs on and chomps at it, ultimately chewing off piece of plastic or chewing it so badly the bit became sharp in her mouth and she then became bitter about putting the bit in. I literally had to replace the bit every single month, and I wasn't pleased with spending almost $600-700 per year on a bit. I tried my trainer herm sprenger double jointed bit and she loves it. Plenty of salivation and suppleness. I will be purchasing one this week and I know it'll last a VERY long time.

"I recently bought a horse that has a very touchy mouth, he also did not like the single jointed snaffle he was currently in and would tilt his head to the outside to avoid contact. In dressage he goes in a Neue Schule double jointed loose ring, so for jumping I thought I would try the happy mouth with a roller to give him something soft and gentle yet with a little stimulation. He loves this bit, he keeps a very soft contact yet I can feel him play with the roller. His mouth is very soft and he really enjoys himself now and his head tilt is completely gone. It is a great bit for those with sensitive mouths."

"I have two thoroughbred mares, both are very sensitive in the mouth and absolutely love all the happy mouth bits. I use this on the younger one and she really likes it, it helped get her accustomed to the contact and accepting the bit. My only complaint is that she was able to chew through part of the rubber within a couple of months, but overall it is still a good bit."

"My horse will not tolerate a metal bit and is sensitive. the straight bar Nathe did not give enough control. This gave enough control with still being gentle. My horse accepts this bit much better than others."

"I had borrowed one of these from a friend for my TB who didn't seem to like single jointed or metal bits. So far, it's working, as he'll accept more contact and I don't feel like I have nothing or overkill."

"I've used this type bit on several horses and they all have liked it. I bought this one specifically for my new horse and he's very happy working in it. The only issue with a Happy Mouth bit is that you must check it after each ride to be sure it hasn't developed any rough or sharp marks on the mouthpiece due to chewing by the horse."

"I have had a mullen mouth D for years from happy mouth with no problems, but the rubber on this bit cracked in less than a month. The horse I was using it on is 22 years old and requires very little rein contact and has a quiet mouth so I'm not sure why this happened. Thankfully Smartpak allowed me to return it for a full refund."

"I have a horse who is a little funny through his mouth due to a not so nice past. I'm not sure whether it's the texture of the plastic or the supposed apple flavoring, but my horse really does love this bit! The manufacturing quality is superb as well."

"My horse is either allergic to metals or the
metals increase his salivation to the point it bothers
him - i am not sure which but the Happy Mouth has relieved his wanting to constantly rub his mouth.
