Bit adaptation
When we talk about bit adaptation, the horse's level of training plays a role in the choice of bit. For example, the level of training determines how soft or hard the bit should be and the degree of tongue freedom. There are a number of certified Myler dealers who are also happy to help with bit fitting - and it can be a great advantage to have a pair of professional eyes.
Mouthpieces with tongue freedom
Myler The bits are known for their tongue-free mouthpieces. With a tongue-free bit, you get a more relaxed horse, partly because it can swallow when it wants to. With traditional two-piece snaffle bits, the bit is on the tongue, so the horse doesn't have the freedom and ability to swallow. This can affect the horse's entire musculoskeletal system, as the tongue and hyoid are connected to the muscles in the lower neck, and the muscles in the lower neck are connected to the sternum and abdominal muscles. If you ride with a bit with a free tongue, this means that the horse is not restricted in its movements, but can move freely and with the correct carriage in the right frame.
