      Love Love Love Myler Bits! Rated 5 out of 5 stars by on 2015-04-27
      We use Myler bits on all of our horses. This bit is perfect for everyday riding. It has movement and helps keep a horse loose and responsive.

      My favorite bit EVER! Rated 5 out of 5 stars by on 2013-10-08
      My Fox Trotter and Mustang trail horses LOVE this bit. Especially the Fox Trotter, she hated a lot of bits until I found this one. For her, I think it's all about the port and the contour which gives her a lot of tongue relief. Any bit with a snaffle or dog-bone type mouthpiece she hated. But she goes happy and confident in this bit while still giving me control when I need it. The HBT shanks are nice and mild. Really, it's the perfect bit for a broke trail horse. I told my neighbor about it and she bought one for her Fox Trotter too and she is extremely pleased with it. I am not the type to write a lot of reviews, but I am so happy with this bit and I think a lot of people are probably put-off by the look of the port that I just have to throw in a good word so people will try it. I thought the port looked harsh. I don't know why I did, but I did. How wrong I was! Horses love the Myler #33 port. I also have the longer shanked version of this bit, but my horses do just fine in the shorter HBT shank, we don't need all that leverage. But if you do need the extra leverage, that is a good bit too.
      Perfect features for my left brain horse. Rated 5 out of 5 stars by on 2013-09-28
      This is an excellent bit; my horse and I both like it!

BIT TIPS:
  • If a curb strap is too tight, the bit will be more severe in the horse's mouth. General rule: make sure you can slide two fingers between the curb and the bottom jaw for adequate spacing.
  • With a long purchase, the bit will act quicker in a horse's mouth when the rider pulls the reins. With a shorter purchase, the bit is slower to react.
  • A curb used on a bit that has rings on the ends is there to hold the bit and reins together. It applies zero pressure to the jaw.
