Things that would be more humane than this bit:
1. Carrying an anchor affixed to your D-rings or horn to drop in the event of an emergency.
2. Keeping a shot of 5 cc's of Ace in your saddlebags
3. Taking vaulting lessons so that you can do an emergency dismount with ease before you hit the highway
4. Riding your horse harnessed to something twice his weight that doesn't go fast, like a particularly lethargic Clydesdale
5. Taking some fucking riding lessons so that you can get results without torturing your poor horse!
