Bridle training a horse can take a long time. You can start the horse out young however and get them used to it. While the horse is still a foal (If you have the horse while it's that young) get it used to having a leather foal halter on and lead it around gently. As the horse gets older, around a year old or so you can place a bridle (Without the bit) on it's head and begin to lead it with the bridle on. After the horse accepts this you can introduce the bit, a very gentle snaffle type bit is best, give the horse treats while it has the bit and bridle on at the same time. Again once this becomes second nature to the horse to have a bridle and bit on you can begin training the horse to follow the pressure from the bit and how to turn, move forward, and backwards. You'll need a helper for this portion of the training. Eventually the horse will accept the pressure and you will have a horse trained to the bridle.

Some bits are made with different types of metal to be "sweet" and to encourage salivation, as this makes the horse accept the bit and relax to it. If your horse is dribbling or drooling, your bit could be one of these. If he is foaming at the mouth after a long workout, that is just another type of sweat and is normal. All in all, salivation doesn't have to be a bad thing, but if you don't like it, go to your saddle shop and ask for a bit that hasn't been sweetened.
A harsh bit is not the solution for a horse that bolts. Proper training is.
Each horse prefers a different type of bit and it's up to the owner to figure out what type of bit the horse likes best.

When selecting and using a Wilkie bit for your horse, there are a few considerations to keep in mind: Bit fit: It's important to ensure that the Wilkie bit fits your horse properly. A bit that is too small or too large can cause discomfort or even injury, while a properly fitting bit will be more comfortable for your horse and allow for clearer communication between horse and rider. Rider experience: Wilkie bits are often used by more experienced riders due to their unique design and potential for more severe pressure on the horse's mouth. If you are a less experienced rider, it's important to consult with a trainer or experienced equestrian before using a Wilkie bit. Horse's temperament and training: Some horses may not respond well to a Wilkie bit, particularly if they have not been trained to accept this type of bit or if they have a sensitive mouth. It's important to assess your horse's temperament and training level before introducing a Wilkie bit. Bit material: Wilkie bits can be made from a variety of materials, including stainless steel, copper, and rubber. Consider your horse's preferences and sensitivities when selecting a material for your Wilkie bit. Regular maintenance: Like all horse equipment, Wilkie bits require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure they remain in good condition and continue to function properly. By keeping these considerations in mind, you can select and use a Wilkie bit in a way that is safe, effective, and comfortable for your horse.
The bit on the bridle makes it so when the horse tries to graze, it chokes. Also, the horse can step on the reins and trip. Also, if you leave a bit on a horse unsupervised the horse can severely injure itself....including cutting it's tongue off and/or cutting it's mouth open. You should NEVER tie a horse with a bit in it's mouth or leave a horse unattended with a bit in.

"Bit-up" refers to the process of adjusting a horse's bit or bridle to ensure a proper fit and comfort for the horse while riding. This involves checking that the bit is positioned correctly in the horse’s mouth and that the bridle is snug but not too tight, allowing for effective communication between the rider and the horse. Proper bit-up techniques help enhance control, performance, and the overall well-being of the horse during riding.
