Shires Tom Thumb Sweet Iron & Copper Gag 4.75″ ONLY

Description

The sweet iron copper tom thumb is a popular bit. Similar in action to an American gag but without the action of the mouthpiece being raised up in the horses mouth. The shank gives leverage and encourages the horse to keep his carriage lower. The leverage of the shanks also provides brakes. The combination of sweet iron and copper makes the bit very palatable. Almost all horses will salivate and soften in response to the taste.
