Excuse me, but could you please clarify what you mean by "bits abusive to horses"? Are you referring to the use of bits in horse riding, and whether they can be considered abusive or harmful to the horses? If so, it's important to note that the use of bits in horse riding can vary greatly in terms of design, size, and application, and whether they are considered abusive or not often depends on factors such as the horse's individual comfort level, the skill and experience of the rider, and the specific type of bit being used. In general, properly fitting and used bits can be an effective tool for communication and control, while improperly fitting or used bits can cause discomfort or even pain to the horse.
