A Bit About Bits
Take a peek around any long-time horse owner’s tack room, and you’ll probably see a wide assortment of different bits that are either gathering dust or still being used. Many people have more bits that they have horses. Look in any tack catalog, and you will see even more choices, frequently pages of bits devoted to English and/or Western styles of riding. There are bits for sale that carry the name and endorsement of well-known riders/trainers who supposedly either developed the bit style or use it, and wannabes in that style of riding often rush to buy such a bit in hopes that it will work wonders for them with their horse.
