How does a bit go into a horse's mouth?
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.

What is the difference between a fancy snaffle bridle and a plain snaffle bridle?
The subject of bits is so extensive you could never learn all the bits and their uses. A plain bit used for young horses usually has a thicker mouthpiece (thicker is gentler on the young horse's mouth) with no shanks. An eggbutt, o-ring, or broken Dee are good 'easy' bits. These bits, as in all bits, are made of different materials, copper being one of the best for the horse's mouth. Bits with shanks, or bits used on double bridles, can be fancy and can be expensive. They can be made of steriling silver, silver plate, copper, sweetiron and stainless steel are just a few. Fancy or no, what is important is the mouth piece, shanks and chin strap. These decide how soft or harsh the bit will be on your horse's mouth. With any bit, always strive for the least amount of bit to get the most result from your horse. So go as soft as you can to get the results you need.

How is a horse tender mouth?
The term 'tender mouth' refers to a horse that won't or can't tolerate a harsh bit or a rider's hard hands on the reins. Most horses start life with a soft or tender mouth. Through years of improper or poorly fitting bits and riders with harsh hands the corners and bars of the horse's mouth can either get tough or they can be extra sensitive and touchy around his mouth. My motto is 'use the least amount of bit to get the most from your horse'. In other words, start with easy, humane bits and hopefully you won't need to ever put a harsh bit in your horse's mouth. As long as you are getting what you want from the horse there is no need to go to a harder bit. I have senior aged horses that still respond well to an eggbutt snaffle.
