Fig. 114.—Hackney Bit with Indiarubber Mouth.

Bits for horses to be ridden by ladies are shown by Figs. 111 and 112. They are on the same principle as those previously mentioned, but are lighter and more fanciful, many of them being ornamented about the cheeks. The Pelham snaffle (Fig. 113) and the Hackney bit (Fig. 114), with indiarubber mouths, can be had for tender-mouthed horses, and double or twisted or smooth-mouthed bits can be had for vicious or quiet horses as required.
