Myler Bit Features

1 Hook offer leverage with direct action type bits. This feature rolls the mouthpiece forward and downward into the tongue and bars with rein pressure, encouraging the horse to break at the poll. Most traditional ring bits only apply backward pressure into the tongue and bars which can lead a horse to resist.

2 Tongue Relief/Curved Mouthpiece permits horse to swallow freely, encouraging the horse to relax. Many traditional bits lie flat on the horse's tongue, restricting swallowing, often leading to resistance. With curved mouthpieces, Myler Bits distribute tongue pressure more evenly than traditional designs.

3 Pinch & Restrict with a Release teaches the horse to relax at the poll and stay in his "comfort zone". With rein pressure, the mouthpiece collapses inward on the bars and rolls downward into the tongue. Once the horse relaxes at the poll, the pressure is released and the horse learns to stay in the pressure-free position.

4 Independent Side Movement within the mouthpiece allows a rider to isolate and lift one shoulder. With traditional bits, a rider is not able to cause pressure on only one side of the bit. This can cause miscommunication and resistance. With independent side movement, a rider can isolate one side of the bit, assisting in lifting a shoulder, for balancing, bending and collection.
