Question on your post to cowboy on neck reining. Is the bit used at all in neck reining. I don't know for sure, but I didn't think it was.

You're right that in western riding the bit shouldn't come too much into play, as the reins are supposed to be slack.

Then why would using a different bit make such a difference?
