This versatile toy can even be used in field attached to a fence, or in the horsebox or trailer to keep the horse calm during transportation.
As your horse licks the Likit, the ball will spin ensuring they work for their reward.
Research carried out at Cornell University in the USA has showed that the Tongue Twister reduced cribbing by up to 27% in a study carried out using chronic crib-biters.
Top Tip
Try using just one Little Likit at a time, this increases the level of challenge.
Some Tongue Twister Reviews
Our horses are Likit crazy! We have the Tongue Twister and Likit Holder and have tried every flavour (cherry seems to be the winner!). Likits have helped us overcome so many issues with our horses from hard to catch to loading in a trailer, they have been the perfect reward. They are also brilliant for trick training!

My boy is so happy when he receives a Likit he dances! I love likit as boredom breaker and a training tool it has helped my rescue new forest overcome many scary and new things and now he is a very confident gelding! Thanks to the help of a Likit reward.

My ex racer beanster LOVES his Likit treats. He suffers from stress in his box due to not spending much time out when he was in racing. Thus he’s a chronic box walker. Beanster has the Likit Snak-a-Ball, Tongue Twister and Boredom Breaker. These all help him cope amazingly and he now loves coming in to play with all his toys. I also have to now put his ball out with him in the paddock in the summer as he plays with it with or without food in, and I am going to purchase a Likit Holder for the trailer as hopefully it will help him deal with travelling to competitions better. He also adores the Paddock Likit and the Treat Bars, all the products are amazing!
Our entry level product, the Likit Holder has a low level of challenge so is ideal for horses that have never used Likits before as it gives them a gentle introduction to the product range, which is important particularly for horses that are not normally food motivated – Sometimes they can be put off if the challenge is too great initially.
Medium
The Medium Challenge Level features the Snak-a-Ball and the Tongue Twister. Firstly the Snak-a-Ball, this is suitable for all horses and ponies and can be used indoors or out. The challenge for this product increases as the horse uses the product. Simply fill with any dry feed, ideally pelleted, or our new Likit Snaks. As the horse nudges the ball it will roll and the feed will trickle out. The less feed left in the ball, the higher the level of challenge for the horse.
Red TT 2Secondly, the Tongue Twister, this product is designed to be fixed to a wall at wither height and is ideal for horses in smaller stables or for those that tend to ‘spook’ easily. Simply insert one or two Little Likits and as the horse uses the toy, the ball will spin making it harder for them to reach their reward. To increase the challenge insert just one Little Likit, gravity will pull the treat down. Studies have shown that environmental enrichment works best when animals are challenged with changes in their environment. Try regularly changing the flavour of the Little Likits and even more the location of the toy from time to time.
Difficult
The Boredom Breaker is one of our more challenging toys and is ideal for experienced Likit users or horses that are particularly motivated by food. Ensure the ball is hung at wither height, well away from any walls to encourage the horse to lick rather than bite. We would recommend using one of our salt based Likits on the top Likit Holder and using either 1 or 2 Little Likits in the ball. As with the Tongue Twister we would recommend alternating both the flavours and the location of the ball regularly to keep the horse’s interest.
