ARM, among sportsmen, is applied to a horse, when, by pressing down his head, he endeavours to defend himself against the bit, to prevent his being checked by it. The remedy is, to have a wooden ball covered with velvet, or other matter, put on his chaul, which will so press him between the jaw bones as to prevent his bringing his head to near his breast.
