Maybe just to clarify in other posts in the future, the one with shanks should be called the American Tom Thumb or the ATT. Just to keep confusion to a minimum.

Haha, I can't seem to make myself go to sleep. But it's okay, I work nights anyway.

Sunny, so many people will tell you what they like rather then what the horse likes. There are a lot of bits that I really like the appearance of but they don't work for my horse.

If you need to make a change, see if you can borrow one of each to try. I have a barn full of different bits that I've collected over the years but ultimately only use two bits.

The first one is a Fulmer snaffle. They are both snaffles. Neither of these are tom thumb bits. They are not curb bits.
