Excerpt from On Seats and Saddles, Bits and Bitting: And the Prevention and Cure of Restiveness in Horses
Again, how many horses, especially young ones, are made restive, and become plungers, bolters or rearers through the intolerable pain occasioned by bits that are wholly unsuited to their mouths, and sometimes fitter for a rhinoceros than so sensitive and delicate an animal as the horse: Many a curb, stringhalt and spavin are originated by the use, or rather abuse, of bits whose lever power is so excessive that it is impossible to regu late their action, not to mention the very numerous instances in which bits are placed in such a position in the horse's mouth as to act on the animal's head in ex actly the opposite direction to that intended by the rider, as shall be hereafter explained, and thus, in con junction with the misplaced burden of the rider, assist in throwing down the bearer.
