if they want to bad enough they can!!
sometimes a strong bit makes the control problem even worse.
once bought a horse no bit would control, he'd
just bow that neck and charge on. really scarey thing as i don't think he even
watched where he was bolting. ended up fox hunting this horse with a soft
rubber bar bit though and he was in perfect control. i think it's all a
matter of training and it "ain't" always easy.

Man does not have the only memory, The animals remember, The earth
remembers, The stones remember, If you know how to listen, they will tell
you many things.
Isn't true that if a horse wanted to/or felt he
had to...could run through just about any bit? I've heard of horses
and mules (ever see a mule bit?) pulling wagons and "run
away". A cowboy once told me that the bit was a "telephone" to tell the
hold what we would like to do...not the brakes. Otherwise the reins
would be attached to the feet where the brakes are located! Kinda made
sense.
