Isn't true that if a horse wanted to/or felt he had
to...could run through just about any bit? I've heard of horses
and mules (ever see a mule bit?) pulling wagons and "run away".
A cowboy once told me that the bit was a "telephone" to tell the hold what we
would like to do...not the brakes. Otherwise the reins would be attached
to the feet where the brakes are located! Kinda made sense.
Just a question. I'm sure there are
professionals and riders out there that might know the answer...or at least give
their opinion on this twist to bit or not to bit.
