Answer 1

You put a Bit in a horses mouth and there are many different kinds. Snaffles, Kimberwicks, Tom Thumbs... And many more. It is place in the mouth using a Bridle and is attached to it, and the bridle is then attached around the horses ears and nose. The lunge line is used to excersize horses that are frisky or are not ridden-- It hooks on to one side of the halter and is ran to clip over to the next. You stand in the center and lead your horse around it, using a lunge whip as motivitation-- never hitting the horse of course, only tapping his heels at most.

You question was a bit vague, let me know if i can help you any more and how!

I presume you are asking about the "bit", a metal device that is placed in the horses mouth. The leather reins attatch on either side of the bit and are directed back over the head , one on either side of the neck. These are held in the hands and give the horse direction as to which way you want to go by pulling on the appropriate side causing the head to be moved to that direction. Pulling back equally on both reins causes the bit to pivot in the horse's mouth applying a pressure on the tongue signalling to the (trained) animal that you wish to slow down/stop. The term "letting him have his head" comes from simply releasing all pressure on the reins and bit allowing the horse to run flat-out in the direction he wants...usually straight ahead, or simply just walk along at liesure. There was an old riddle when I was a child that asked....When does a horse eat best? Ans. : when he hasn't got a bit in his mouth.
