On the Bit?

Salve,
a very important article on the use of a bit within the sport of dressage, especially the Anglo-American one... it is obviously not a recent one, but still very important and interesting

 The Definition of "On the Bit" by Dr. Max Gahwyler and Bettina Drummond - via The Eclectic Horseman.

It behooves one to read it and ponder the implications,

 Enjoy

ps
I decided to illustrate this short entry with some XIX century paintings by great Juliusz Kossak
