If owners would only lay out q little
more money in the purchase Of bits
there would be fewer bad mouths and
more comfort amongst their horses. AS
1t is, most people appear to he welded
to one pattern of bit and, if so, are
extremely disinclined to adopt any 9TH
err. The result is that the manners and
mouths of their horses are permanently
injured, and accidents occur which
might otherwise have been avoided. #
horse owners. breakers and stud
grooms would only remember that there
is a vast difference in mouths, and
many horse is driven half mad by an
unnecessarily severe bit, a good deal of
money could be saved and many an
equine reputation would be spared. 1t
by no means follows that horse which
pulls will lose the habit if he is driven
in severe bit-very often 1t is just the
reverse; and, therefore. the study Of
his horses mouths should be the care
