Bombers Tom Thumb Taylor Chain

Bombers Tom Thumb Taylor Chain. Brand new!

The Taylor Chain bit creates an action between a Waterford and a Snaffle.

The ends of the mouth piece act more like a snaffle exerting pressure on the bars.

The main difference however is that instead of the additional rings at the bottom it has an extended shank with a ring on the end, this shank is bent and set to run at 45°. The effect this has is to ease up the poll pressure and leverage on the mouthpiece.

Please note that the sweet iron fades to brown with use or any oxidation.  This is normal.
