Systemized Horse Cruelty: The Bit

How many people have you seen take out their anger and frustration on their horse/dog/partner? 

The dog bites or cowers and refuses to obey, cats scratch or become timid, the sheep and cattle simply run away (if they can) and so would horses if we allowed them.

But humans are smart, or so we say, and they simply come up with more ways than you can imagine to control a horse then subject them to whatever treatment we choose to dish out. These controls include many things we see as normal thanks to traditions that have been passed down through many generations and which we give no thought to their relevance for today’s world.

Needing a bit in the mouth to ride a horse is a strong traditional belief which has been disproved by the advent of the bitless bridle and now thousands of natural horsemanship students who ride in natural halters and hackamores perfectly safely once they have understood basic one rein control.

Putting a piece of metal in the most delicate part of the horse, his mouth, which is integral to his survival, and then giving the reins of control over to a volatile human is like asking your best friend or partner to wear a lip ring or tongue stud with a chain attached to your short fuse! How long do you think the relationship would last?

The constant pressure on the sensitive bars and lips of the mouth eventually damages the tissue in these areas giving the rider a heavy or dead feeling on the reins, and the horse a crutch to lean on instead of truly collecting in self carriage.

In addition to these amazingly varied torture devices (there are hundreds of different bit designs – almost all with the essential aim of control) we see the horse’s mouth strapped shut with a noseband or head tied down with a martingale so it can’t ‘evade the bit’. Poor things – imagine if we had to work with our mouths taped shut so we concentrated better while doing our job – how would you feel? Frustrated I’d say and that’s exactly what causes our horses to develop habits like teeth grinding, jaw crossing, sticking the tongue out, tossing the head or simply look dull and bored with ears back, suffering their torture.
