Bit Mechanics Theory
Look at any bit and understand the mechanics, pressure points, and severity.
What is inside?
Pressure Points and ways pressure can be influenced
Understand where bits apply pressure so that you know where you are communicating with your horse, and what factors influence the pressure the horse feels.
Leverage and Pressure Amplification
Understand how leverage forces work in bit mechanics, and how to identify bit-related leverage and pressure amplifications.
Cheekpieces and variations in mechanics
Understand how to identify the action of different cheekpieces, and how they impact communications with the horse.
Mouthpieces and variations in mechanics
Understand how different mouthpieces interact with the mouth, where they apply pressure, and how much.
