What is the strongest horse bit you can get is it a Tom Thumb?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, the Tom Thumb bit is not considered the strongest horse bit. A Tom Thumb bit is actually a controversial bit design that can be harsh and confusing to horses due to its jointed mouthpiece and shank. There are other bits designed for strong or difficult horses that may be more suitable options, such as a low port curb bit or a correction bit.

Is the Tom Thumb bit harsh on a horses mouth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The severity of the Tom Thumb bit can vary depending on the design and the rider's hands. Some horses may find it harsh due to the leverage action and potential for nutcracker effect on the tongue. It is important to consider the individual horse's needs and response when selecting a bit.

What does saddle for a horse mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you ride a horse, a saddle is there to provide a stable seat. It helps you keep your balance, helps you get on the horse easier (using the stirrups) and provides something to hold onto, other than the mane. It's also more comfortable than a bony horse's back, too! There are different types of saddles for different disciplines. English, Western, jumping, dressage, racing, all-purpose, etc.

What types of stitching are there?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

sewing machine stitches: Straight (or running stitch) zigzag Satin stitch (a very narrow zigzag) back baste blanket buttonhole gather Overlock (serge) stay-stitch (a straight stitch done just inside the seamline to strengthen the seam) Stitch in the ditch (meaning to stitch inside the seam to help hold it down) Many machines have the capablility to sew embroidery stitches by means of special attachments, or the newer ones can be programmed by computer. There are many other kinds of stitches, I have an embroidery dictionary that has over a hundred stitches, and there are similar dictionaries for needlepoint and for cross stitch. I have provided some links to some that can be found online.
Perhaps you meant names of stitchery, such as embroidery, quilting, sewing machine, sewing, cross-stitch, needle art, crochet, knitting, crewel, embellishing, beading, blackwork, and hardinger. There are probably more, but these are the ones that come to mind.

What are the different types of HDTV -- CRT or LED?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are basically 3 different categories of High Definition televisions. The first is Flat Panel, which includes both LCDs and Plasmas. These TVs feature a slim design, can be wall-mounted, and are most often associated with HD. The second is Projection, which includes DLPs and LCD Projection. The third is CRT, or Cathode Ray Tube. These resemble the bulky, heavy analog televisions which have been around for a long time, but are able to display HD. Here is a brief list of features for each type: LCD Televisions:

- Require less power to operate than CRTs and Plasmas

- Weigh less and run cooler than Plasmas, which makes them easy to install

- Not susceptible to burn-in like CRTs and Plasmas. This is especially beneficial if you're a Gamer, or watch programming with static images that remain for long periods of time.

- Capable of producing a bright picture

- Not affected by high altitudes Plasma Televisions:

- Sleek and attractive design

- Available in large screen sizes

- Slim design and able to be wall-mounted, although to prevent damage to either the TV or your wall, professional installation is highly recommended.

- Bright image

- Excellent color saturation - produces very vibrant colors and deep blacks

- Wide viewing angles DLP Televisions:

- Available in very large screen sizes and tend to be a good value for the size and picture quality when compared to Plasma or LCD TVs

- Bright images and excellent contrast and black reproduction

- Pixels are more densely packed, therefore reducing the "screen door" effect sometimes found on LCD TVs, especially low end models

- Light source can easily be replaced

- Slim design (when compared to CRT projection TVs) LCD Projection Televisions:

- Capable of producing very bright images with high contrast

- Large screen size with the benefits of LCD technology

- Slim design (when compared to CRT projection TVs)

How is it wrong to use a bearing rein?

User Avatar

Asked by Aadd109

If a bearing rein is too tight, the horses head must be held uncomfortably high. This can result in back pains and problems in horses. A bearing rein is not necessarily bad, but don't put it too tight.

What do you put on a horse before the saddle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you lunge it Make sure to keep the horse under control - it may be jumpy or excited. I suggest lunging to get rid of excess energy and don't forget to warm up their muscles by walking and trotting them for a while before speeding up. warm up slowly and gradually show it things it used to do. lunge him/her to make sure they aren't to crazy. gooooooooooooood luck

How is a bridle important in horse riding?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A bridle is used to control a horse or pony when you are riding them. Bridles have a "bit" a piece that fits in the horse's mouth and usually a leather strap that fastens behind the jaw of the hourse. When the shanks that are attached to the bit's bridle are pulled by a set of reins that the rider holds, it puts pressure on the horse's jaw and therefore you are able to stop or guide the horse. A bridle is used for a little extra control.If you have a trained horse you will not need to tug and pull a bunch.If you are more experienced you can use your "aids".Your hips,legs and eyes.Your horse can sense shifts of weight.

How much can horse tack cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would all depend on the brand of the tack. I think the only difference in price would be how much the girth costs coz it would obviously be slightly bigger :) Also, if the horse has not been fitted for a saddle, it might cost you a little more to get it proffesionally done! :)

Tigersummer, Roan - The above answer relates to real life tack for a real horse, but on Horseisle, there is no set price for all tack. There are four stages of tack - simple, where every piece is under 10k, medium, where every piece is under 100k, high, where every piece is under 1 mill, and V.high, where every piece is at least 2 million. The height/breed/gender of your horse DOES NOT matter, so it won't cost anymore to saddle a 16hh Shire than it would for a 11hh Falabella. Hope this helps :)
