Some times less is more. One more happy horse.
I was using a shanked bit with a port. My horse always tried to open his mouth to avoid it. He seems to be less distracted and more responsive with this one.

Western show mare loves this bit
My western mare loves this bit...she does not work well with a regular snaffle she is a powerful mare and she loves the leveraging effect. We have had so much success working her in this bit.
Exactly what I was looking for!
Easy to add to head stall. Looks well made and beautiful for a simple tom thumb bit. Hope to use over the next few days to see how my horse responds before a western pleasure show over the weekend where she will be wearing the piece.
Good if you're on a budget
The quality of the materials and finishes are less than impressive and the gap in between the links is quite large. It will get the job done but I would've preferred to spend the money to get a better quality bit, however if you are on a budget this is still very functional.
Works Wonders
I bought this because I was trying out bits for reining my gelding quarter horse. He is an extremely sensitive and good-nature horse. I found that this bit has been perfect, I would recommend this bit for anyone of all ages, but if young have a few lessons so you aren't to hard on the horse's mouth. I have had this bit for a week and am seeing lots of progress
Nice bit
Nice bit for the price. . Fits my mare great and she doesn't have a fit with it..
BAD BIT!
Tom thumbs pinch the horses tongue and also apply ALOT of pressure on the roof of their mouth. Don't buy or use! Please!
We like this bit
We purchased a mare at the national western stock show and were told that she wouldn't take a bit. Although it took us a few weeks she is doing great with this bit!
Tom Thumb Bit
My trainer recommends this bit and my horse and other horses I know work extremely well with it. It is not harsh, but has whoa power when necessary.
Don't Use Tom Thumbs!!
Tom Thumb bits are NOT GOOD for your horse, they are horrible bits. Don't us them!!
Grate Bit
I Diden't use a Tomb Thumb bit till abought a yeat ago. My friend told me at a show to try one since my horse refused to stop and backup, but with this bit he does it like he use to and I am very thankfull for it to!

pretty good
This bit is pretty good. The horse I ride changed from another bit (not sure what kind, I think it was a snaffle) and apparently she's responding much better with this bit. i haven't had a problem with it at all. The color does fade though. The bit doesn't stay that light copper color, now its a dark brown..but I assume every bit probably does that eventually! I'm not sure if this is the exact bit I use, although it looks exactly like it! I'm not sure where the owner got it from either.I hope this helped a little!

BAD BIT
I used to use this but a lot i thought it was a good bit, but a very wise horseman told me how it works. Just look at the mechanics, when you pull back not only does it put the pressure on the horses chin but it breaks right in half and the links shoot right up into the roof or the horses mouth, and when you pull back (again) it folds in half collapsing on the horses bars witch can be very painful. i will never use another tom-thumb bit on my horse ever again its a VERY BAD BIT. When this guy told me how it works its because i had a horse i was using it on and whenever i put even a little but of reassure on the reins she would start bobbing and throwing her head and if i put anymore she would put her head straight out and straight up and take off and wouldn't turn or anything i had to do the one rein stop a lot.
Bad Bit For Barrel Horses
My barrel horse runs 2-D/3-D runs. I think that anyone who hasn't taken the time to really "get the feel" of the bit needs to change to a less harsh bit. This can be a harmful bit if in the wrong hands. My little sister used to ride my horse and my horse got injured and now needs to use a hackamore due to injures last fall. My horse is still recovering. I would strongly discourge beginner riders/ Intermidate riders to use a less harsh bit.
amazing!!!
my horse loves this bit and so do i my instuctor loves it, the previous horse owners loved it and i love it!!! it is super easy to slip in the mouth and the copper is a great taste for the horse:)

Well worth the money
A great bit for an amazing price. I'm glad I got it.
Great Bit
Was looking for a nice heavy short shank snaffle to train my horse to neck rein, shes still adjusting but I'm hoping she will take to it well. As a horse owner I love it. But the final decision goes to her... and we wait. Great even compared to other more expensive short shank snaffles out there.
BAD Bit!
I have never had any luck with TT's. They are bits that no beginner should ever use, and only experienced riders and horses should even touch. It's too easy to screw up with them. Very easy to pinch the horses cheeks and start a head-flipping habit. Do a simple search on google about Tom Thumbs and you will get thousands of results about not using them. Please, take a step back from this bit and buy one of the other lovely ones the site has.
Great!
Fits my pony really well, it is heavy, but i expected that. REALLY good for the price
Too heavy
This bit is too heavy. I feel as if i am putting to much metal in my horses mouth. Should be lighter. Must have been made in China.

Would this fit a large horse?
A shopper
on Dec 31, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Hello. The 5 inch fits my thoroughbred perfectly as well as my quarter horse who is on the stocky side. However it does not fit my Canadian who is built like a percheron. Hope this helps! Happy New Year!

I actually bought the 4.5" bit, and I use it on an Exmoor pony and a 14.3 hand Quarter horse mare. I use the 5" on my other horses. I have no draft horses.
Yes this bit fits a larger sized horse but please realize a bit horse does not necessarily mean a wide mouth. It's always best to measure.
I believe this bit is too small for a large horse. It would be too narrow. A six inch bit would be better.
No...quarter horse at best but not a heavier set QH or Warmblood
Yes. I use it on a 9 yoa TWH
