For the price I couldn’t have asked for a nicer bit. I really liked the quality for the cost and bought two I could keep one nice to school in at shows.

good training bit
I love this bit. I use it for my personal horse, and it is my go to bit to use when starting to teach my training horses to neck rein. This website labels it as a tom thumb, however the shanks are more curved than the average tom thumb it.

My trainer calls this an Argentine snaffle - is it? Also , how harsh is it? Thanks!
BEST ANSWER: No, this is a western bit. The shanks makes it a curb technically, but the broken, copper-ringed mouthpiece make it a good bit for a western rider. Your horse should neckrein well and work off your seat and legs. It's a good "between" bit for a horse whose moving up from a snaffle; but not as severe as a true curb. I have two.
My horse does neck rein & move off legs well. She's pushing through a snaffle, a frisky girl, although I'm working with her. My hands are in pain, (carpel tunnel pain), I was hoping to use this bit on high energy trail rides- I do have a soft touch. Is this the one?
Thanks so much!
Yes, I would try it. I have an 18 yr old 15.3h gelding that was our 4H hunt seat horse. He's big and muscular and is now our family trail horse,huband and grandchild safe! I usedthis bit to get just a little more control as the horse is a bit stubborn with an experienced rider and needs pushing and for a better stop for the inexperienced riders while they learn. I have psoriatic arthritis. My hands, are very crooked and painful; and I don't like to pull anyway but if I need, I can.. This bit has really helped; and...get some good gloves/wrist support while you're at it. I also use the same bit on my adopted 8 yr old mustang. She's just a small horse but what a lot of fun to ride! She's great on the trails and loves to go. It was time to move her up in bits.
She's very agile, sure footed, turns back easily and ready to advance. Everyone knows: she's my gal!
Your comments were so helpful Judith, makes me want to go riding with you with matching wrist guards!
Your comments help me decide that this would be a good bit to try on my girl. Thanks so much for helping me out – really appreciate this forum.

I don't know about it being Argentine...I've tried several different styles and this one works for my girl...she is much more responsive with this one...it gives much better than the rigid type so not so harsh.
Thanks so much, Tammy. I'm going to try it .
It is a snaffle bit, very comfortable in the horse's mouth. They seem to like the copper and the rollers. The bit is very easy on the mouth. With any bit, a soft hand works best, especially with a shank
Not harsh at all and I call it an Argentina as well
