Bit-Induced Asphyxia In the Horse

چکیده
Equine practitioners must be disappointed when they read conference reports on clinical problems with which they are familiar and learn that the research is incomplete and solutions are not in sight. As “more research is needed’ is the conclusion to so many research reports, it seems a pity not to announce the good news when a solution to a problem has been discovered. It is especially a pity when this applies to a problem that was caused by man in the first instance; is a problem that has been around for hundreds of years; is all too familiar to veterinarians; and is harmful to the welfare of both horse and rider.
