Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Tom Thumb Snaffle effective for control?

The Tom Thumb snaffle is a leverage bit that applies pressure to the poll, bars, tongue, and roof of the horse's mouth when rein pressure is applied. This multi-point pressure system helps experienced riders gain better control over horses that are strong or not responding well to rein cues.

Is the stainless steel material durable and safe for my horse?

Yes, the bit is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is known for its exceptional durability and resistance to rust. This ensures longevity and reliable performance. Stainless steel is also a safe material for equine use.

How do I know if the 6" mouth and 8" cheeks will fit my horse?

The 6" mouth and 8" cheeks are standard dimensions for this particular Tom Thumb snaffle, designed to provide effective leverage for many horses. However, bit fit can be individual. It's always recommended to measure your horse's mouth to ensure it falls within the appropriate range for a 6" mouthpiece, and consider their overall conformation for the cheek length.

What is the mouthpiece design like, and is it comfortable for the horse?

The Tom Thumb mouthpiece is designed to be smooth and mild, aiming for gentle contact with the horse's mouth. While some Tom Thumb variations include copper rollers to encourage salivation, this specific model focuses on a smooth snaffle design for clear, direct communication. Always observe your horse for any signs of discomfort.

Who is this bit recommended for?

This Tom Thumb Snaffle Bit is generally recommended for experienced riders who have well-developed hand aids and a good understanding of how leverage bits work. It is particularly useful for horses that require more assertive cues or struggle with basic rein responses.
