Bitting rig rig." It is the use of additional reins such as the overcheck, or the use of leverage to place the horse's head in a set position that turns a classic surcingle into a bitting rig. Both a bitting rig and a classic surcingle with side reins are intended only to be used while longeing a horse. They are not to be used on a horse that is standing in a stall (though this is a very common type of misuse), nor are they used while riding. However, the surcingle and side reins are used as safety tools in the sport
Matroid girth oracle, it is impossible to find the girth using a subexponential number of matroid queries. Similarly, for a real linear matroid of rank , with elements, described by an oracle that gives the orientation of any -tuple of elements, it requires formula_1 oracle queries to determine the girth. Computations using a girth oracle (an oracle that reports the smallest dependent subset of a given set of elements) have also been considered. Matroid girth In matroid theory, a mathematical discipline, the girth of a matroid is the size of its smallest circuit or dependent set. The cogirth of a matroid is
