This is a very basic introduction to bits and their function. The book never adequately addresses the subject and comes far short of the title. I believe that all except the most novice of horse enthusiasts will already be familiar with the vast majority of the material presented.

If you have absolutely no knowledge of the subject and you're looking for a very brief overview, this is the book for you.

"The Complete Book of Bits and Bitting" provides a much more thorough coverage of the subject although it is perhaps a bit too thorough for the novice rider.

general info. is good, but being ignorant about bits i was hoping for more in depth information.

This book was given to a friend but it was full of information that she could use.
She is a new horse owner and the book was very informative for her.

this is a very easy to understand book that explains bits and bitting and takes the mystery out of selecting the right bit for your horse. it answers almost any question one may have about most types of bits, and makes alot of sense!

A good bit fits your horse's mouth and facilitates a productive "riding dialogue" between you and your horse. But there are so many types and styles of bits available that making a selection can be a daunting task, particularly if you don't know what to look for. This book will help ease the task.

Great book. Was not exactly what I was looking for but, that was not an error on the sellers part.
