Re: [RC] To Bit or Not to Bit???? what do you think - Kristen A. Fisher
I admire people/horses that can use bitless
bridles. But I want to LIVE. Death also "triggers a cascade of
pathophysiological effects that are incompatible with athletic
performance."

Finally, all bits are counter-productive and contraindicated as, apart
from pain, they trigger a cascade of pathophysiological effects that are
incompatible with athletic performance. Therefore, bitted bridles are harmful
to the horse since control is dependent on painful pressure on the acutely
sensitive tissue of the mouth and they stimulate other effects that are
inconsistent with the physiological needs of an exercising animal.
