| Test Your Current Bit |
 On
a bare arm, place a regular, jointed Snaffle mouthpiece in the crook
of your elbow, bending your arm upward at a 90 degrees angle. Have
someone, directly infront of you, grab both rings and pull backward
and slightly upward on the bit. The center of the mouthpiece will
drive into your elbow and pinch the sides of your arm. Try lifting
one side of the Snaffle upward and then the other—be careful,
though, this could draw blood.
If you're like most people, this hurts and that pinch is what your
horse's tongue and bars feel. When horses are asked to perform in
Snaffle bits with constant rein pressure, it's an unrelenting pinch
on the tongue and the bars. You can feel for yourself how hard it is
for your horse to be comfortable, release his tongue and / or
swallow without evading the bit.
Try this test with a variety of bits. You might notice that the
Snaffle is not the gentlest of bits as it is sometimes reputed to
be.

independent Side Movement™, the Comfort Snaffle™ allows
a rider to isolate one side of the bit for bending,
balancing and lifting a shoulder. |

Unlike traditional
snaffles, the Comfort Snaffle™ features a free-rotating
barrel and curved mouthpiece specially-designed not to
pinch the center of the horse's tongue avoiding pain and discomfort. |
Right from the start of training, the Myler Bitting System
conveys your commands more effectively by "going
soft" on your horse's mouth. With a special
"no-pinch" barrel and curved mouthpiece that
applies firm pressure—not pain—on the tongue, the
Comfort Snaffle gives you and your horse a first taste of
the superior communication at all levels of training that
only Myler provides. |
