Indeed, this alonewill enable driving many headstrong horses easily. Thesimplest and best form of check for this is arranged aboutas follows : Put on a small steel bit partly bent, and passa closely-fitting strap from each ring across the nose. Tokeep it in place, another small strap should extend fromthe center of it to the head-piece. The gag-runners shouldbe attached to the bridle well up on the head-piece on aline with the enrs. The check-rein should be attached tothis bit, and drawn short enough to throw the head well u\k. Fig, 73.—Half Moon Bit The next point is to so conform the driving bit that itcannot be resisted.
