Importance of a good mouth. No factor contributes so much to the pleasure, comfort and safety of either rider or driver as a responsive mouth in a horse—one that always obeys promptly the slightest instruc- tion from the master. A good mouth to a large extent is natural to the horse. Tender and bad mouths usually result from improper handling. Bad mouths are very aggravating and often the cause of many other.

Bitting the colt. The young animal can usually be made familiar with the uses of the bit by the application of the bitting harness or " dumb jockey " as it is sometimes called. This bitting harness consists of an open bridle with a large, smooth bit and check-rein, a surcingle and crup- per and two side lines running from the bit to buckles on either side of the surcingle. The adjustment of the bridle is important. The length of the head-stall must be so adjusted as to bring the bit in mild contact.
