About this episode
The episode discusses the importance of selecting the proper bit for driving animals, providing an introductory understanding of bit cheeks and mouthpieces.
Picking the proper bit can be a big topic in driving. Selecting one that works well for your animal. While this is a topic best addressed with visuals, I make an attempt to discuss bit cheeks and mouthpieces in an introductory fashion to help give people a baseline understanding of how to talk about them and what to look for in one. I have a post with illustrations on driving bit cheeks here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/basic-cheek-for-98729400 I have an article in-progress covering mouthpieces that should be finished this summer. I'll update this post with a link once it's finished! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
