Usually a bit can mean the horse is not well behaved and needs a firm tug to the mouth.The bit does not hurt the horse unless the horse resists what the rider wants.For example: If the rider wants the horse to halt and the horse shakes it head and keeps walking the rider will have to pull on the bit until it hurts the horses mouth.This will only happen about 2 times and the horse will then understand that disobedience only causes the horse pain.

∙ 13y agoYes, most of the bits go into the mouths of horses. There are sorts of bits that don't, such as an "s-curve" bridle which only is securely fastened around the upper nose area. The bits that do go into the mouth don't touch the teeth, you simply open the mouth and place the bit in the back of its mouth behind the back teeth. There are various forms of bridles and even more forms of bits depending on the horse's preference.
