My pelhams on the lowest ring have about a 1.5-2 in shank. a Tom Thumb that I meant reminds me of an icelandic bit, is a long shanked broken snaffle. with a curb. My last pelham I got from susan at saddleuptack.com and it is awesome. It is a 4.5 in mouthpiece (for some reason stonewall has a small mouth) and a real short shank, maybe 1.5 if that.
