A step-by-step guide to the horse’s mouth and the principles of bitting. Chapters contain the teeth and ageing, the tongue, care of the mouth, the types of bits, the action of the bit and bitting problems. A section on bitless bridles is also included.
These books are a great basic guide, focusing on one topic only and with lots of great pictures to help you understand the text. This one is a good stepping stone to understanding the horse's mouth and why different bits work, although it should be followed up with more in depth books for someone who really wants to know more. But great for children or the very novice horse owner.
