Medieval Curb and Hinged Bits

During the third in the sequence of the Cheiron seminars on historical methods in horse training and horsemanship, we turn to the issue of the medieval bits. Medieval curb and hinged bits are notorious for looking rather severe, but were they such indeed? The first speaker, Nate McCormack, compares western spade bits to certain medieval bits. The second speaker, Timothy Dawson, talks about his experience in reconstructing medieval bits. The respondent, Frederik Kirch, contributes to the discussion from the archaeological perspective. The ensuing discussion evolved around the issues of various forms of medieval curb bits preserved, their possible function, and what constitutes "contact" in working with horses.
