BEARING REINS ON HORSES.

To the Editor o/ the Stour4ric7ge Observer.

Sir,—Allow mP, through your columns, to call
the attention of horse owners and drivers to the
great amount of pain inflicted on horses by the use
of tight bearing reins and bits. Although much
improvement has of late taken place, there are still
many horses in this district so gagged up by these
instruments of torture, that it is painful to watch
them pulling a heavy load, or even when standing
still throwing their heads about, or: boreing down
on the bit, as if trying to break the rein, and so
obtain relief in that way. I believe that in most
cases, the cruelty iq not intentional. Drivers as a
rule, have a fallacious idea that the bearing rein
prevents a horse from falling, but I think a little
consideration will convince any one that this is
wrong, but that the rein will prevent the animal
from rising should he happen to fall. The horses
head and neck is intended as a counterpoise to the
length and weight of his body, and to deprive him
of the perfect and free use of the same, by fastening
it up to the middle of his back, seems to say the
least of it a great errow of judgment. But, Sir,
there are other and stronger reasons why the
bearing rein should be abolished. Most of the
leading members of the Veterinary Art have
stated that the continual use of the bearing rein
causes disease and struchral deformity, and I
enclose an extract from the "Animal World" of
the present month, containing the opinion and
protest, and signed by six professors, and upwards
of 500 members of the Veterinary profession.
Many celebrated horsemen have also given power-
ful evidence declaring tight bearing reins to be the
cause of disease as well as torture in proportion to
the extent and severity with which they have been
applied, and in the army, in the portions where
horses are employed for draught purposes, such as
artillery and army service corps, bearing reins are
not allowed,! except for training purposes, and
under the eye of the riding master. In the words
of the extract enclosed, "Surely the publication of
evidence of this nature will tend to the abolition of
tight bearing reins, and to more humane modes of
harnessing horses."

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,
ANTLCRUELTY.
