Stiff, on the other hand, means that the pieces of the bit do not run over
						the axles and work in combination easily. Whatever the pattern may be, the same method
						of using it must be carried out in all the points that follow, assuming that
						you want your horse to have just the appearance I have described. The mouth must neither be pulled so hard that he holds his nose in the air,
						nor so gently that he takes no notice. As soon as he raises his neck when
						you pull, give him the bit at once. Invariably, in fact, as we cannot too
						often repeat, you must humour you horse whenever he responds to your wishes.
