Re: [RC] [RC] Mylar bits - Stephanie E CaldwellI've not used Myler bits much, but my experiences haven't been as good as most. My riding buddy has used a combo on her gelding for a year now, and he goes very well in it, but recently we tried a Myler on her mare that I ride, it didn't go over to well with the mare. They Myler, IMO, missed a few key points when designing their bits, and they are not all they're cracked up to be. The so called "Comfort Snaffles" look like they would have a tendency to pinch. Laying across my palm, when pulled, it pinched my palm very badly. Aside from that, I found them easy for the horse to lean on. Most of the comfort snaffles are 2+ jointed and they are *not* mild bits. Whatever works for your horse, that's what should be used, but I am not a fan of Myler's and would not invest the money in one for my own mare! With the lifters and hooks these bits have quite a bit of poll pressure, more so than most Kimberwickes and many pelhams, they are deceptively mild looking.

He also is 'giving' bettera nd he rounds better too in it.
