D-ring bits are bits with a ring shaped like the letter D. They help you to better control a speedy or high-spirited horse. They are the snaffle bit that works best for hot-blooded horses.

Two bits I think
The horse rolls on bits for a long time.
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.

it means its hungry of course
Information on horse bits can be found by asking at the stable the horse is kept if that is the case. Otherwise some information can be obtained from books in local libraries or bookstores. It is also worth asking the local vet if they deal with horses a lot.
you can get bits with kays in to let them play or a nice tasting one i think their called happy mouth bits!?
because when you want the horse to stop it hurts a little when you pull on the reins its a sign that you want your horse to listen to you and to slow down.

There are a variety of reasons, some being that the horse's mouth is very sensetive to bits, a bit would not improve the horse's preformance, or that the horse was not trained with a bit.
Try a bitless bridle. Many horses hate bits, because bits often hurt the horse. It's really hard to use a bit and NOT hurt the horse with it. Most bridles and bits use pain or the threat of pain to make a horse do something. So, I advise getting a bitless bridle and training him instead of going up a bigger, stronger (and therefore more painful) bit.
