I just bought another myler...made a big difference in my gelding. He really 
reacted to  the pelham (ony tried it long ago), didn't like the s hack , 
.Realised the ported myler snaffle with independent side movement is his 
bit.Moved him back to a regular snaffle, boy, did he fuss. I think the 
"nutcracker" effect  is too much for him. I tried the french link, he was 
more relaxed but could pull in it on the trail...so went back to his myler 
ported, hinged withindependent side movement--level 2/3  which they 
recommended to me.
 My mare too gets real tense in a snaffle. She seemed more relaxed in a 
french link or the comfort myler snaffle, and my 3 yr old sho has only had a 
snaffle in a couple times, is more relaxed in a french link.... So I chucked 
the regular snaffles in the can.....
  Everyone will get a myler when I can afford them....one more to go....
