With regard to future work building on the current study, within Brooke it has been identified that there would be value in attempting to track the horses and drivers involved in this study over several more months in order to assess the bit prototypes over the longer term (e.g., the long-term animal welfare impacts beyond those measured in the current study, such as whether body condition improves as a result of less oral pain and fewer oral lesions). There would be value in assessing other aspects of the project beyond animal welfare (e.g., acceptability of the alternative bits to drivers and equid-owning communities, such as longer-term impacts on the level of control of horses during work, or demand for the new bits sought from vendors). It is also anticipated that the ongoing project will require additional sensitisation activities to help drivers overcome the price differential between the old and new bits, as the former cost 850 CFA (equating to approximately $1.3 USD) and the latter 1250 CFA (equating to approximately $1.9 USD). Planned activities include incorporating education about harmful bits and preferable alternatives in community engagement activities with equid owners and users, demonstrations of the new bit prototypes, educational sessions for drivers, and creation of pictorial booklets and learning materials designed to engage local people (particularly those who are illiterate) with this topic. However, it should be noted that initial uptake of the new bits was very encouraging, as all of the 1000 prototypes produced were distributed, and the demand from drivers exceeded the availability at that time. To address this demand, following the successful trialling of the new bits and completion of the experimental phase, a workshop was arranged for the artisan who had been selected from the initial tender process to train other artisans in each area in production of the successful bit design. The intended outcome is that there is an artisan capable of manufacturing the improved bits in each of the five locations involved in this study, thus making this widely available to several key populations of cart horse drivers, with the ultimate aim of encouraging all drivers using the pre-existing injurious bits to switch to the new designs.
