I used a Tom Thumb on my mare for ten years and she did very well in it. I neck rein and use mostly leg cues and voice commands (yeh, Bob really yells about that) though.

Tom Thumbs can be harsh bits, just depends on your style of riding.

Thanks for your input - my horse doesn't know neck reining, but he knows leg cues.

I guess I'll go shopping tomorrow :-)
