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.
