An interesting series of videos here. I'm attaching part 1 and 2.
In part 2 a link is made between gastric ulcers and bit use.
The question about which bit to use comes up on the forum quite often. It often seems that the bit is our guarantee that the brakes work and that we have control. Yet anyone who's had a horse run off with them will know that the bit does very little if the horse decides to flee.
Some very interesting points to consider here.
