<p>A colt’s bit should be large and smooth snaffle, with players to keep
his mouth moist.</p>
<p>Dick Christian liked a bit for young horses as thick as his thumb we
don’t know how thick that was and four and a half inches between the
cheeks; and there was no better judge than Dick.</p>
<p>The Germans use a wooden bit to make a horse’s mouth, and good judges
think they are right, as it may not be so unpleasant as metal to begin
with; but wood or iron, the bridle should be properly put on, a point
often neglected, and a fertile source of restiveness. There is as much
need to fit a bridle to the length of a horse’s head, as to buckle the
girths of the saddle.</p>
