Everything a rider needs to know about bits and how they work.

Description
The hundreds of available bits and their variations present a bewildering choice to a rider looking for the most effective way of controlling and communicating with a horse. However, help is now available in this most authoritative and up-to-date work. In an increasingly sophisticated horse world that blurs the line between English and Western tack, this book answers questions for horsemen who are involved in all English and Western equestrian activities. The reader learns not only how snaffles, curbs, pelhams, and other "mouthware" operate, but also how specific ones can be used to correct problems arising out of both competitive and pleasure riding. Emily Esterson , a career journalist, has contributed articles to Dressage Today, Equus, John Lyons's Perfect Horse, Equestrian, and Equine Veterinary Management. Emily is an active dressage and three-day eventing competitor. Hardcover, 224 pages, 100 color photographs
