* What is a twitch? Where is it used? What does it do/why do you use it?
Twitch is a common name for several devices or techniques used to subdue a horse in stressful situations such as clipping or giving medical attention. One place it can be used is on the nose, upper lip specifically with clamp like device, a cord formed into a loop coupled with a stick to twist the loop tight around the lip, or a ( ) chain loop at the end of a stick used in the same fashion. There are several other types of twitches, any one want to name them?

* What is the purpose of a roller-mouth snaffle?
The roller mouth can have several purposes: 1)the roller acts as a toy for the horse to find comfort in fiddling with, 2) the roller lifts up onto the soft palate when the reins are engaged and creates a greater degree of discomfort which to some = a greater degree of control, 3) if the roller is copper, which it often is, the combination of the steel mouth peices and the copper roller help encourage salivation which in turn encourages a softer mouth.
