The reins and cheek pieces of the bridles should be 

 provided with studs (Figs. 97, 98 and 99), which have 

 the advantage of allowing the bits to be removed for 

 purposes of cleaning and change. If the bits are sewn 

 on, the necessary washing will more or less rot the 

 stitches, and will thus give rise to an element of danger.
