What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a soreâ And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar overâ like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?
snaffle - a simple jointed bit for a horse; without a curb. snaffle bit. bit - piece of metal held in horse's mouth by reins and used to control the horse while riding; the horse was not accustomed to a bit.
The Tom Thumb and any other bit with shanks are curb bits, which use a leverage action. So, if the bit has shanks, it is always a curb bit, and never a snaffle. The shanks on a curb bit do not have to be long to put some pressure over the top of the horseâs head, and behind the chin. That is how a curb bit works. So even a bit with two or three-inch shanks is a curb bit.
