PATENT BEIDLE.

for these cases to make their management simple and easy, 



I have invented this means of control. 



This is an ordinary bit with a jjulley in each ring. A 



small, oval strap passes 



under the head-piece of 



the bridle, at each end 



of which is a pulley 



corresponding to those 



attached to the bit. Tie 



or buckle the ends of 



the reins into the rings 



of the bit, pass them 



up through the pulleys 



on the ends of the round 



straps, thence back 



through the pulleys in 



the bit rings. On the 



ends of these round pul- 

 ley reins, is stitched a 



small, strong ring. Another round, extra bit of strong, 



flexible material (used only for very severe cases) is at- 

 tached to the main bit. (See cuts 75, TO.) This bridle 



gives great pulley power up 

 and backward, against the 

 most sensitive part of the 

 mouth, under the upper lip, 

 making it almost impossible 

 to resist an ordinary pull 

 upon the reins. In addition, 

 the fulcrum of whatever 



power is used being brought, by the rounded strap before 



referred to, directly upon the spinal cord (as explained in 



Fig. 75.— Outliuc of Patent Bridle.
