The Hilason 5″ Horse Mouth Steel Tom Thumb Bit with Jointed Mouth is a versatile bit designed for Western riding and training. Made from durable stainless steel, this bit features a 5-inch jointed mouthpiece that creates a nutcracker effect, applying pressure to the horse’s tongue, bars, and lips when the reins are pulled. This design encourages a soft mouth and improves the horses responsiveness to the riders commands.

The Tom Thumb shanks provide moderate leverage, making it a suitable choice for horses transitioning from a snaffle bit to a curb bit. It combines the direct action of a snaffle with the leverage of a curb bit, giving riders precise control while still being gentle on the horse. Ideal for trail riding, ranch work, and everyday training, this bit helps refine rein aids and enhances communication between horse and rider, offering a balanced mix of control and comfort.
