| | The "Wonder" Bit |
 | | This bit does nothing for teaching self carriage, nothing for teaching lateral flexion, nothing for teaching the horse to work through his body, and nothing for teaching the basic "calm, obedient, forward, straight, supple and light" which are the goals of good horsemanship everywhere. |
 | | The Gag Bit features a sliding mouthpiece that is able to move up and down the cheek of the bit providing a variable amount of leverage to the corners of the mouth. |
 | | The physics of such a bit (it is actually more like a gag bit, due to the pressure on the poll and corners of the mouth) were encouraging her to stargaze, hollow her back, and pace. |
