A BIT FOR WIND-SUCKING HORSES. BY

THIS bit has been made with the view of preventing windsucking in horses. It can be worn while the horse is at rest in the stable, or in the form of a bit while at work.

Even if a horse can indulge in the habit of wind-sucking while the bit is in his mouth, which is doubtful, the air he sucks, instead of finding its way to the stomach, passes out at each side. I have tried it for some months on several confirmed windsuckers, and, without exception, all have improved in condition while they had it on. The bit can be procured from Messrs. Arnold and Sons, London.
