Myler Horse Gag Bits and Combo Gag Horse Bits
Myler Horse Gag Bits are used both as horse bits for western horses and English horses, The Myler's Gag Bit is a hybrid of a snaffle ring bit and leverage shank bit. The Myler design features a large centre ring to support the mouthpiece. The top ring is for headstall attachment and a bottom ring for the bridle reins. The distance between the top and bottom rings determines the amount of leverage the Myler gag bit has. Gag bits come in 2 ring and three ring and some two and a half options. Using the rein on the lowest third ring gives the bit the most leverage and should not be used by inexperienced riders.
Myler Bits have lightweight mouthpieces that slides freely on the centre ring until the degree of rotation brings up he curb strap against the lower chin. When the rider continues to apply rein pressure then the mouthpiece will slide until it meets the stop position on the ring and then the curb will begin to engage under the horses chin and then the poll pressure. The action of this bit and total pressure applied by the rider will be dispersed over areas of the horse the poll, lower jaw, tongue and bars.
Myler Horse Bit Levels:LEVEL 1 MYLER HORSE BITS - Myler mouthpiece designs correspond to four different levels based on the horse’s behavior and experience, starting with Level 1 for greener horses and moving up to Level 3 for more advanced work.Level 1: Myler Bit Action – The horse bit rotates onto the horses tongue to apply tongue pressure and collapses back while preventing the horses lips and bars from being pinched. The bit curves to allow more room for the tongue and then the Myler bit has Independent side movement on most mouthpieces. Some of these bits have a barrel in the center of the bit that allows each side of the bit to move independently.
