It depends on the way your horse was trained, some horses are trained with just a halter/ bridal (that means without a bit). Every horse is different, it mostly depends on how the horse was trained and how obedient it is. A well traind horse would only need a small bit or bridal/ halter.

this is not guaranteed to be correct, but I hope this helped

Answer2:

As stated above some horses are trained differently and will accept different things.

However a rope tied around the lower jaw (as in tied around the jaw and over the tounge) is dangerous. The rope can be tied or pulled too tight and cut of the blood circulation to the lower jaw and tounge causing pain and possibly nerve damage. A rope no matter how soft can also cause rope burn to the jaw, face, and tounge. Rope bits were used for a long time in the past, but they were not soft gentle bits and often horses had damage resulting from these rope bits.

If you just do not want to use a metal bit it is recommended that you try a rubber bit, or a bitless bridle, but not a rope tied around the jaw.

Answer3:

BIT-When it's pulled, it creates pretty-much equal force on both jaws, causing minimal damage to a horse.

ROPE-When it is pulled, it could cause significant damage and pain to the horse's teeth and jaw. If it's pulled really hard (sudden stopping or rider falling), it could actually dislocate the horse's jaw.
