impossible For Him TO Take the Bit
Between HE Teeth.
The runaway horse In story books,
as in most Of the veracious and detail
ed accounts given in the daily press,
invariably takes the Bit between his
teeth as preliminary measure It
would be interesting TO know how he
does this. He obviously cannot get it
between his molar teeth tgrinders) I'M
less both his cheeks are slit up from
he corners OF bis mouth. and IL the
cheek straps be the right length it IS
equally impossible for him to get It
down to the level Of his incisors (nip-
pers), and there are no teeth in be-
tween. Thus perishes another hoary
headed superstition.
What does happen is that through
steady. unremitting tension on the
reins the bars OF his mouth become
numbed and impervious to pain. This
enables him to set his jaw firmly, put
the whole weight Of his head on the
bit and successfully resist anything
short Of one horsepower at the other
end of the reins. This is the reason
why when run away with one should
never try to recover control by steady
pulling. but should always use short.
sharp pulls with intervals Of complete
relaxation between them.
Although 1t is always advisable to
drive a new horse. temporarily at least.
with the bit to which be has been ac-
customed. provided that he goes satis-
factorily in it. it is never safe to as

general, is responsible for much trou-s
bic that might be obviated. 1t IS sur
