Re: Which Myler bits?

[Laney Humphrey <laneyh@mbay.net>]

Hi Bobbie!
    For arab #1 I am using MB 27 because he runs through
the bit, and drops his (left) shoulder.  This one looks a lot like
a kimberwicke except that the sides of the bit work independently which
is great for this horse.  He never did well in a snaffle.  I
had tried a bristol then a low port with no leverage.  I noticed the
changes immediately!  I can lift his shoulders to keep him straight
and he stops better than before.
    For arab # 2 I am using #32 as a step up in mildness
from a snaffle but when I need some "stop" on the trail, he listens more
to this bit than he did to the snaffle.  This bit also has a bit of
leverage.
    I highly recommend the book and apparently the Mylers
also do clinics.
Happy trails, Laney
