A bit is used for control while riding. A bit should never be left in the horses mouth while unattended. To go along with that when removing your horses head stall and bit Let the horse push the bit out by his or her self pulling a bit out can do more harm than its worth to you and the horse. A bit can be a good thing but at the same time a bad thing. When choosing a bit make sure it fits the horses mouth right. A bit that does not fit right may cause your horse to act out with no warning and cause the horse not to respond when you are asking.
The device that is place in the horses mouth is called a bit. It is a bar of metal used to steer the horse when riding.
"Steel horse" is a slang term for a motorcycle. It is often used in songs or by motorcycle enthusiasts to describe their machine.
The flat part of a horse's jaw where the bit rests is called the "bars." The bars are located between the incisors and molars in the horse's mouth. It is a sensitive area where the bit sits when the horse is bridled.
The part of the horse's mouth where the bit rests is called the bars. This is the area between the incisors and molars, where the bit applies pressure to communicate with the horse.
A headstall for a horse is a hanger put on a horse's head used for holding a bit,bosal, nose piece, or other piece of equipment to control a horse while riding. When a headstall is combined with a bit (or bosal, nose piece, etc.) the combination is known as a bridle. o OK now you know
A bit is only as harsh as the rider pulling on it! However, the spade bit is the hardest on a horse's mouth if used wrong. They have to be carefully trained to use one
A metal bit is a piece of equipment used in horse riding that goes in the horse's mouth. It typically consists of a metal bar with rings on either end. The rider uses reins attached to the rings to communicate with the horse by applying pressure to the bit, signaling the horse to turn, stop, or slow down.

It depends on a number of things. If your horse is flighty, prone to spooking, stubborn, or a stallion, a shank bit, a curb bit, or a tom thumb bit may be in order. However, if he is easygoing, laid back and responsive, a snaffle bit may be used.
nope. the nose band came first.. if that's what you were asking..
Its is not the "kind" of horse that determines the type of bit you should use it is the discipline and training level of the horse that determines it. A full cheek snaffle should be used on a horse being ridden english. It is a fairly mild bit that can be used on horses of all training levels. The cheeks pieces are there mainly to prevent the bit from slipping from side to side in the horses mouth but it does provide a bit more action in the horses mouth than a loose ring snaffle.
A kimberwick bit might work
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.
A bit lifter is a piece of horse tack which lifts a bit in the horse's mouth.
A bit is the part of the bridle that is put in a horse's mouth. They are most often made of metal. Bridles are used to control the horse when riding. These are different from halters, which don't have a browband or bit, and are used to control the horse from the ground. There are so many different types of bits. The most common type is a snaffle. This is a general type of broken bit. There are twisted snaffles, loose-ring snaffles, and many others. There are also Pelhams, Kimberwickes, and more.
I'm not familiar with a 'headpiece' but I think you mean the bridle. This is used to control the horse's head and keeps the bit in the horse's mouth.
A harsh bit is not the solution for a horse that bolts. Proper training is.
