Horse bits consists of two basic components, bit mouthpiece & the bit rings to which the bridle & reins attach. The horse bit mouthpiece is the first factor to think of when assessing the action of bits for horses. Many mouthpieces are not allowed in certain competitions. All horse bits act with some combination of pressure & leverage, often in conjunction with pressure applied by other parts of the bridle.
