It was not intended for common bits; the round eye and the snap hook give them perfect freedom of action. “The loose eye” has, however, become common on common bits. A noseband prevents the cheek of the bit and of the headstall from going forward, and so impedes the true action of the bit.
Action of the Chifney bit. The loose eye. The noseband. The horse’s defence against the bit by the tongue. Effect of the porte against this defence. Defence by the lip. Defence by the teeth. Bar of the military and driving bit. Martingale. Danger does not result from power.
I like the Irish plan of buckling the standing martingale to the rings of the snaffle, better than that of attaching it to the noseband, because it teaches the animal to "give" to the bridle, and not to lean persistently on the noseband. The noseband method is generally adopted by polo players.
