The Lexicon preserves the language of the Lifestyle — its words, concepts and traditions. It records meaning; it never prescribes practice. Where usage varies between Houses or lineages, each is set down with equal respect.

Equipment

Bit

A mouthpiece worn as part of a Pony Play Bridle.

Definition

A Bit is the mouthpiece worn by a Human Pony as part of a Bridle. Bit designs range from ornamental soft materials to more traditional metal-inspired shapes, and are generally used at lower intensity than in equestrian practice due to the differences between human and equine anatomy.

Historical background

The Bit adapts equestrian tack to Human Pony use, with makers producing designs sensitive to human mouths.

Discussion

Bit fit, material and duration of wear require care. Communities generally recommend caution, rest periods and clear signals for removal.
