Geeziz Wavy.....Do you have to work at being a fuckwit or does it just seem to come naturally to you? You're not talking horses, you're talking horseshit. Its obvious to anyone who has lived long-term with dogs and horses that you are an idiot!

I love animals and I gotsta tell you Man, you need to understand them and live with them as a part of your life before you go out spouting complete claptrap. Bits for instance come in hundreds of different styles and variations and the severe types are in limited use. Good horse people can make even the most severe bit relatively painless and a bad handler can cause pain with even the gentlest bit....and in all cases adjustment and fit is critical. To many horses a bit is almost like chewing gum is to some people. It sort of gives them something to do and keeps them alert. They make some specific mouthpieces just for those horses that need that sort of thing.

For instance, Karen had a part Quarter Horse and part Tennessee Walker that she had a helluva' time keeping focused on a trail. Going down a steep hill this big mare would suddenly turn and grab some leaves off a tree or some other dumb thing. A friend suggested a bit change using a device that rolled around on the mouthpiece and she acted like a different horse.

Don't go off about things you know nothing about. Don't even get me started on dogs.
