Bonus Post

In apology for missing a couple of days, here is a bonus post!


All I can say is, "What. The. Hell."
Why? This is sold as a mule bit. I know mules, they don't need something like this any more than a horse does. They are NOT stupid, stubborn, or untrainable. People are so ignorant sometimes.

    I don't think any equine or equine relative would ever need something like that. It just looks horrifying. All the mules I know are very even tempered and trainable. Yes they can be stubborn but only until they figure out what you are looking for. Hurting them is not going to help, that is for sure.

    Because causing pain is always the hallmark of a good training program...

    I don't think the lightest hands in the WORLD could make a bicycle chain comfortable to wear...

    Looks like the outward curve to the gag action would add even more pressure - ouch! Whoever decided that bicycle chain on any animal's mouth was a good idea should be shot.

    The worst thing about these bike chain bits is that if you think about it, why did someone start making and marketing these bits? Because they found out that some a**hole was making his own bits from a real bicycle chain. Now just think about that, some poor horse had some homemade greasy old bit of bicycle chain in his mouth.

    It just pisses me off.

    Why isnt there a movement to remove these type of things from the market. For all the human groups out there no one seems to address this issue. This will inflict pain merely by putting it in the horse/mules mouth. All in the name of making a dollar right! The head of the company that makes this should have to wear this.

    Triple Star Cowgirl, I am with you...why isn't there a movement to block torture devices from the market? Good idea.

    Is it just me, or do the sides look really phallic.
