Overview
The Shires Sweet Iron Copper Tom Thumb Bit is a versatile bit ideal for a variety of disciplines. The shanks provide the classic indirect-rein action of a traditional shank bit.
The three-piece copper link mouthpiece prevents the "nutcracker" action of single-jointed mouthpieces and instead applies moderate tongue pressure in a more even manner across the tongue, bars, and lips when reins are engaged. Raised ribs discourage leaning and the roller center allows for relief from boredom and mouthiness. Copper and sweet iron promote natural salivation, keeping your horse's mouth supple and responsive to subtle rein cues while also providing a distinctively pleasant taste and smell to encourage rapid bit acceptance and maintain comfort throughout the riding experience.
