RE: [RC] Bitless Bridles - Katrina MosshammerOK, I'm not knocking
the bitless thing at all, but I found this comment very funny in the FAQ
section on the website. They must not be talking about endurance
horses.
<<Why does use
of a bit interfere with a horse's breathing?
Just as food in the mouth stimulates digestive system reflexes, so also does a bit. A bit signals a horse to "think eat". Yet a horse at exercise needs to "think exercise". The bit stimulates digestive system responses, whereas exercise requires respiratory, cardio-vascular and musculo-skeletal system responses. Eating and exercising are two incompatible and mutually exclusive activities. Horses have not evolved, anymore than we have, to eat and exercise simultaneously. >> Katrina
