horses cruelty

[INQUISITOR63]

Does a bridle not hurt a horse´s mouth over a long time being pulled from side to side and suffering metal on teeth?
I have just come from the dentist and I can imagine how it feels .

Fitted incorrectly, and in the wrong hands yes it can. Some bits are more severe than others.

Ideally, you're not supposed to tug away at the bit anyway.

properly fitted and used, the bit shouldn't touch the horse's teeth. It should sit on the bars (gaps) of the mouth. If you are tacking up a horse and bash or rub the bit on its teeth, it won't like it at all. Smart well trained and cared for horses co operate with tacking up and will open their mouths and take the bit themselves.
