ABSTRACT

In the macro perspective, this study heavily focuses on the development process of the horse equipment particularly the bits and bridles which have a stick ends. These objects seemed to be introduced here in East Asia (including Korea, Japan and China) from West and Middle Asia. Especially it should be highlighted that this work divided four different types according to the combination technique of the bits and bridles. They are as such: Penetration, All-in-one, Combination and Insertion. Penetration type has a small hole in the middle of the bits and the bridle was penetrated through the hole. At the end of the stick, then, there is a outer circle which to hold the bits. In case of All-in-one, the bridle and the bits are directly combined and stuck together. A hole or circle which is attached to the bridle are connected to the bits and this is a Combination type. Finally the Insertion type is the one which is known as the general bits and bridles and so bridles were inserted to the bits. This kinds of combined bits and bridles seemed to be identified from West Asia, Middle Asia and Japan throughout more than 1500 years in history. However, this is also very interesting to point out that all those findings have distinctive and unique feature which cannot be unified into one certain type.
