ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for measuring the width of the mouth of a horse or other domesticated farm animal so as to allow one to select a bit of suitable width. The apparatus includes a crossbar having first and second ends, a first stop received on the crossbar adjacent the first end and a second stop received on the crossbar adjacent the second end. At least one of the stops slides along the crossbar. The width of the horse's mouth is measured by engaging a first side of the mouth of the horse with the first stop and a second side of the mouth of the horse with the second stop and measuring the distance therebetween along the crossbar.
