Chew

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chewing the horse

As a horse to chew one calls the chewing movements of the horse while riding .

If a horse walks correctly on the rein , it has a slight pressure on the store - the toothless spaces between incisors or canines and molars in the lower jaw. As with eating, this pressure stimulates the activity of the parotid gland , which in turn causes the horse to chew. This reaction promotes the relaxation of the neck muscles and is therefore very desirable when riding.
