"There is evidence of the use of bits, located in two sites of the Botai culture in ancient Kazakhstan, dated about 3500–3000 BC.[6]
Nose rings appear on the equids portrayed on the Standard of Ur, circa 2600–2400 BC. To date, the earliest known artistic evidence of use of some form of bitless bridle comes in illustrations of Synian horseman, dated approximately 1400 BC.[7]
The first bits were made of rope, bone, horn, or hard wood. Metal bits came into use between 1300 and 1200 BC, originally made of bronze.[8]: 17 In modern times, nickel was a favored material until about 1940, when stainless steel largely replaced it."
Kuolaimet ovat siis melkoisen vanha keksintö, kun ensimmäiset viitteet siitä ovat melkein yhtä vanhoja kuin kesyhevonen ylipäätään.
