A metal bit in the sensitive mouth of a horse frequently causes intense and sudden pain of short duration (acute pain). This is the stabbing pain of the sort that we experience if we bang both our shins. Think too of the sharp pain we experience when we accidentally bite our tongue. The horse’s tongue is also a sense organ, yet it is frequently injured by the bit. Finally, think how the misery of a lip sore or a gum boil can spoil our day. Consider how often the bit chafes a horse’s lips or bruises the gums. Bit-induced pain is often long lasting (chronic) as well as acute.
