An improved Bitting or mouthing Kein 1or Horses.
We, WALTER FARN, of Newham, Daventry, in the County Northampton, Stud
Groom, and Toм URQUILART CLARKE, of Leamington, in the County of Warwick,
Saddler, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows;-
Our invention has for its object an improved bitting or mouthing rein for use
more particularly in breaking horses to the use of the bit while it can be applied for
the same purpose as that of a bearing rein. Our arrangement is particularly
cheap in manufacture and effective in use.
In carrying our invention into effect we attach a short running rein to the billit
or hoop at each side of the bit and this rein passes through a ring arranged under
the chinn in such a manner as to give perfect freedom of running movement to the
rein when the horse turns his head. Also passing through this ring is a connecting
strap cord or rein which is carried up and attached to each side of the body roller or
harness saddle by strong elastic connections which give a limited amount of freedom
to the connecting rein by which means the horse while controlled by the bit is
enabled to turn his head to the right or left without disturbing the position of the
bit in his mouth.

the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to
be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:
--
Our invention has for its object an improved bitting or mouthing rein for use
more particularly in breaking horses, to the use of the bit while it can be applied
for the same purpose as that of a bearing rein, our arrangement is particularly
cheap in manufacture & effective in use.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practise we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawing upon which we have
fully illustrated the nature of our said improvement together with the mode of
& means for carrying the same into effect.

page_text: Figure 1 is a view of part of a horse with one of our bitting or mouthing reins
in use.
In carrying our invention into effect we attach a short running rein A to the
billet or
loop at each side of the bit B, and this rein A passes through the ring E
arranged under the chin in such a manner as to give perfect freedom of running
movement to the rein A when the horse turns his head. Also passing through this
ring is a connecting strap, cord or rein F which is carried up and attached to the
body roller harness saddle or other band H by strong elastic or other connections f¹
which may be made to give a limited amount of freedom to the connecting rein F
by which means the horse while controlled by the bit is enabled to turn his head
to the right or left without disturbing the position of the bit B in his mouth. The
connecting rein F may be attached to the band H by means of the strap and
buckle to which also one end of the crupper J is attached and may be adjusted
in its length on each side by the buckles.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is;-
An improved bitting or mouthing rein for horses substantially as and for the
purpose herein set forth and illustrated upon the accompanying drawing.
