 that part ; while the curb-bit will be em- 

 ployed to overcome the active resistance 

 of the horse, and to direct and rule the 

 forces of the forehand after the snafBe has 

 accomplished Its work. But the two bits 

 must never be used together, no matter 

 how rapidly the effects of one must follow 

 those of the other.
