Actually used this bit for my horse cross country and it worked very well.
as far as leaving it on the race track for those that know how to use it - well - I have watched a lot of riders in the morning and have cringed with the disrespect I have seen to many a horses mouth…
First off… seriously guys… the Houghton was used by the old timers to START BABIES in harness racing. It’s still used that way sometimes. It isn’t one of MY favorite bits, but it’s not evil incarnate. geez…
Second… that picture… with the roan/appy. Where was it taken? I see a BIRD CAGE and what looks like a BED in the background!!! LOL!!
