I bought a Myler/Toklat bit at a neighbors barn
sale.... It looked gentle,but solid. It is an eggbutt, three piece curved
snaffle I think it is called a comfort snaffle? The problem is that is has
these slits for reins and bridle or curb chain attachment, they may be
called "lifters"....anyway, they don't work..they make the whole bit sit
funny....is anyone familiar with this kind of bit, and am I using it
correctly... Thanks in advance
I've recently acquired a
Myler low ported barrel Kimberwick and really like it for all 3 of my Arabs,
and for a different reason for each. One has a shallow mouth (low roof)
and I haven't found a snaffle that he's comfortable in; one is very
competitive and needs some control, and the third horse needs a light
touch 99% of the time. All three are happy in this bit and I'm much
lighter handed with it. Initially each did some mouthing getting used to
the strangeness of the new bit but it didn't take long for them to adjust and
appreciate it. This bit communicates beautifully with the horse with
just the lightest touch, yet if control is needed it's there.
I'm getting some really nice shoulder movements with this bit.
Seems the horses feel and understand it better than a snaffle.
Another plus is that each of the horses drinks well with this
bit. So, I highly recommend it.

port kimberwick Myler bit and what they thought and control. Or any
