Bits and response time in the real world of cross country galloping and jumping---- There are realists and theorists in this world, and the theorists will look you right in the eye, and declare, with all the fervor of an evangelist, that every horse, properly trained and ridden, should be light and obedient in a plain snaffle. To which I would respond, Here, Sonny, are the reins to old Thunderball. There is the cross country course. Please demonstrate your theories in real time. (And see if you can get him to make out the life insurance policy in your name before he leaves the starting box.) Because this is a war zone, not a dressage arena, and the rules and theories which apply in one are not always the same when blood runs high, teeth are bared, and the adrenaline is pumping. Use a bit that damn well works, when you sit up and say, Whoah, nice horsie would be my advice. Or have a wreck, whatever floats your boat.
