Gleason's horse book The only authorized work by America's king of horse tamers, comprising history, breeding, training, breaking, buying, feeding, grooming, shoeing, doctoring, telling age and general care of the horse . Perfect Heads of Draft Horses, Kind and Good Workers. Question. How do you work your bit, and is it patented ? Answer. My bit is a straight bar bit with check pieces, with slotiin lower ring and a small ring for curb strap. When the bit is buck-led to the bridle the cheek piece of the bit buckles into the bigrings right in front of curb strap rings. For driving an ordinaryhorse the reins are buckled into the big rings. If you have a horsethat is liable to run away, kick, shy or is hard to control, buckle theUneg from the big ring and buckle them down in the slot of the -UP- cheek piece. This gives you 500 pounds pressure, and any lady candrive the worst puller that you ever saw. The curb strap must bebuckled at all times back of the jaw. Just have it fit snugly. The philosophy of this bit, being perfectly square, is that themoment you pull on the reins the bit turns in the horses mouth andthrows his jaws open; the curb strap doing its work throws the bitdirectly back from the ft*.3
