Adjustable Tongue spoon

Some horses learn to flip their tongue over the bit and sit on it - a habit that ruins the contact and takes over a training session. The Jump'In Adjustable Tongue Spoon is the traditional French answer, known on the continent as the anti-passe-langue: a leather strap that sits in the mouth's tongue channel to keep the tongue in its proper place under the bit.

How it works: the spoon piece hangs below the mouthpiece and sits against the tongue, physically preventing the horse from lifting it over the bit. The English leather strap is fully adjustable via its stainless steel buckle, so it can be set to suit different mouth conformation and bit configurations. One size fits most setups.

Why we rate it: used correctly and with an experienced eye, a tongue spoon is a targeted correction tool, not a gadget - and the honest leather construction here means nothing sharp or complicated going into a sensitive mouth. If your horse's tongue habit is new or sudden, have his teeth and mouth checked by a vet or equine dentist before reaching for any training aid.
