To me, a bit is a communication device. I tell the horse to do something, and when he does it, I release the bit. This tells the horse he did the right thing, and will continue to do the right thing to get me out of his mouth. These poor horses never get any relief! It is truly a testement to their character that they don't rebel more than a bit of head shaking.
