What is a "bit"?
A bit is a metal piece that fits into a horse's mouth as part of a bridle, which helps the rider control the horse. It is usually attached to the bridle with reins and serves as a tool for directing and guiding the horse's movements. The bit works by applying pressure to the horse's mouth when the rider pulls on the reins, allowing for communication between the horse and rider. Bits come in various shapes and sizes, each designed to suit different riding styles and the horse's comfort and training level.
