Can using running reins all the time when riding destroy a horse's mouth?

I think you are talking about draw reins. If you are using them correctly there should be no damage or ill effects to the horse's mouth. Draw reins are a great training tool which encourage the horse to 'give' to the bit and help him to bend or break at the poll. The type of bit you are using is also a factor in determining how well draw reins work. Never use them with a solid bit or a bit with shanks. A simple eggbutt or O-ring are optimim bits for use with draw reins. If possible the mouthpiece should be broken but make sure it's a two piece and not a three-piece like a snaffle with a doughnut. A twist is ok as long as it's a slow twist. And remember that a fat mouthpiece is much less harsh than a narrow one.
