The shank of the Tom thumb bit gives leverage and encourages the horse to keep his carriage lower as well as providing brakes. The combination of sweet iron and copper makes the bit very palatable and almost all horses will salivate and soften in response to the taste. The loose ring copper players in the centre give the horse something to think about, and often help to soothe a fussy tongued horse as the tongue can roll along the rings making it easier for the horse to swallow.Please note all tom thumb mouth pieces rust this is a natural process when iron and water are combined  oxidizing will occur.
