Red River prospector. (Red River, Taos County, N.M.) 1900-190?, 1901-12-12

desired to have their horses make a
good appearance at the horse show,
and hit upon that e of making
an ordinary animal appear frisky.
The bit burr is a continuance made
of heavy leather, three inches in diam
eter. In the center is a hole large
enough to admit the bit. On the inner
side Of the burr are punches Of bristles,
which protrude a quarter of an inch.
The burr is slipped on the bit and the
bristles rub against the side OF the
horses mouth when the line is pulled
taut. The burr is used %legitimately for
correcting a "one-line puller," as a
horse which pulls to one side is called.
Bristles is the usual material used
for studding the burr. although it is
charged that some horse owners use
tacks, with the sharp point filed off.
Both kinds of the burr are sad to have
been removed from the New York
horses.
