Happy Mouth Bits and More

A bit is not gripped between the teeth of a horse, but instead rests on the gums of the horse's mouth. Thus, pressure is the goal of manipulating a bit, not to cause the horse pain. Happy Mouth bits, in particular, are designed to flexibly fit the shape of the horse's mouth, and increase the comfort.

All pieces of the English bridle work together for the overall effect of controlling the horse's movement. Much like the fluid movements of the horse itself, the equipment components have a smooth motion that is useful in training, and eventually showing.

Use of an English Bridle

In addition to the apparel of the rider, the equipment resting upon and controlling the horse contributes to the success of a competition. Every piece, even down to the English bits, makes a difference. However, these pieces are only as useful as the skill of the rider. Whoever is controlling the English bridle can make it an effective tool, or something that causes pain to the horse without beneficial communication.
