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 so near his breast.
