Tom Thumb single jointed with rubber

The Tom Thumb with rubber from Shires is a single jointed that offers a pleasant light and soft contact. It allows a good relaxation of your horse's mouth by its soft alloy.  Unlike the double jointed which acts on the tongue, the single jointed acts on the palate and the sides of the tongue. It is important to know that the palate of the horse is a sensitive area that should not be neglected. It can be recommended for horses that are relatively easy but not very sensitive in the mouth, not very sensitive on the palate or with a hollow palate. A comfortable bit that forms naturally on the tongue due to its anatomy, its alloy gives it a soft contact.  The thinness of its barrel allows to optimize the place of the bit in the mouth of your horse. Ideal for horses with small mouths.

The Tom Thumb bit has a lowering/raising effect and helps you to shift the weight backwards. The larger/longer the rings, the greater and more severe the leverage. You can hang the reins fixed on the bottom ring or with rings on the middle and bottom ring.
