Format:Hardcover
This book covers all types of bit ranging from the simple snaffle to the more complex bit. It gives information on how each bit works and a brief description of how it can help. Although the reader has to have some knowledge of riding it is not too technical for a beginner to pick up and understand. A good buy that will sit in the tack room as a reference for many years

Brilliant, loads of info for the equestrian rider, whether experienced or not, a super informative book, but also blows a few bits that are regularly used in the equestrian world as being confusing and not recommended, all my equestrian friends have read this, and love it
Format:Paperback
This book is very clear in its layout. It is well written and presented and has been of enormous help to me to ensure my students understand about this complex subject.
