An apparatus (10) 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 (10) includes a crossbar (12) having first and second ends, a first stop (16) received on the crossbar (12) adjacent the first end and a second stop (18) received on the crossbar (12) adjacent the second end. At least one of the stops slides along the crossbar (12). The width of the horse's mouth is measured by engaging a first side of the mouth of the horse with the first stop (16) and a second side of the mouth of the horse with the second stop (18) and measuring the distance therebetween along the crossbar (12).

On décrit un appareil (10) de mesure de la largeur de la bouche d'un cheval ou d'un autre animal de ferme domestique, de manière à pouvoir choisir un mors de largeur appropriée. Cet appareil (10) comprend une barre transversale (12) présentant des première et seconde extrémités, une première butée (16) logée sur la barre (12) au voisinage de la première extrémité de celle-ci, ainsi qu'une seconde butée (18) logée sur la barre transversale (12) au voisinage de la seconde extrémité de celle-ci. Au moins l'une des deux butées coulisse le long de la barre transversale (12). On mesure la largeur de la bouche du cheval en plaçant la première butée (16) contre un côté de la bouche du cheval, et la seconde butée (18) contre l'autre côté de la bouche, puis on mesure la distance figurant sur la barre transversale (12), entre les deux butées.
