To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I met a gentleman very recently who was riding a horse with the hounds ; the animaLhad a mouth as insensible as a piece of iron, and my friend was not only in a most uncomfortable, but even in a dangerous predicament. I offered to lend him one of these bridles, which I was led to believe would answer his purpose ; he expressed himself incredulous, nevertheless he sent for it and tried it, when to his great astonishment, and still greater satisfaction, he found his horse went ad- mirably in it, ...and lost no time in procuring the facsimile. He has since informed me he had tried all sorts of bits and devices, but none had any good effect but this. From its peculiar con- struction it may be rendered severe or the reverse ; but in neither case has it the effect of deadening the mouth ; the great imperfection of many other bits. The acme of perfection of a horse's mouth is to go pleasantly in a snaffle-bridle. To accom- plish this he should be occasionally ridden, when young, in a bit such as I have described in order to make him handy.
