The Simple Bit
Believe me, bits are simple. There are only two kinds. (There are plenty of variations.) Neither kind of bit can work miracles. Both kinds can be used to inflict pain. At the same time many advertisements state their bit will never cause the horse any discomfort, and will solve training problems. Impossible! Ask most horsemen and you’ll be surprised to discover few know much about bits. Few can give an accurate definition of either kind. Worst of all, few know how the bit they are using actually works.
