Bits are frequently blamed for veterinary and performance problems, but there is minimal other research into bridle and horse interaction. Study objectives were to (1) determine sites of maximum pressure under a double bridle headpiece, and under a crank cavesson noseband in trot using a pressure...
Rider perception of the severity of different types of bits and the bitless bridle using rein tensionometryJournal of Veterinary Behavior: Clinical Applications and Research, Volume 8,Issue 2, Pages e18, March 2013, Authors:H. Randle; H. Wright....
There are two main types of bridle bits: snaffle bits and curb bits. Snaffle bits allow a rider to control a horse by transmitting the pulling force of the reins to the horse's mouth. Curb bits, on the other hand, are known to allow riders more precise control over a horse through a...
Leather, nylon, and sometimes metal for bits and buckles. 6 How do you choose the right size harness or bridle? By measuring the animal and consulting with a professional or using a size chart. 5 Can bridles be used for animals other than horses? Yes, but they are specifically designed ...
Different ways of how hip rings are incorporated, but none of them change the way the MLW / back diagonal joint looks like. Back diagonal not being a V-, but an X-shape, so that there is no separate lateral webbing, but the back diagonal extends out of the container at the bottom me...
A further major point is the potential for bits to disrupt the maintenance of negative pressure in the oropharynx, which apparently acts to prevent the soft palate from rising and obstructing the nasopharynx. The untoward respiratory outcomes and poor athletic performance due to this and other ...
