PONCHA SPRINGS, Colo. May 20, 2009 — Horse trainer and educator Julie Goodnight recommends Myler Bits® -- the bit company known for its dedication to education about biomechanics and helping horses relax and avoid mouth pain. Goodnight started using Myler Bits more than 10 years ago, and has consistently suggests the bits to riders in her clinics and on her television show.
“The bits caught my eye the very first time I saw them in a tack store, and I quickly realized I was drawn to them because of their ergonomic design,” Goodnight says. “The bits are made with the horse’s mouth in mind. It wasn’t long before I bought one. Now all my favorite bridles have Myler bits hanging on them. I rely on Myler bits exclusively as the bit of choice for me and the horses and riders that I train. I’ve appreciated the educational approach the Mylers have always taken. It’s only through educating riders about bits and how they work that the horses will benefit. Pick up the Myler book or DVD and you’ll quickly learn more about the horse’s mouth than you’ve ever known and why Myler bits get results.”
The creators of Myler Bits — Ron, Dale and Bob Myler of Marshfield, Missouri – believe you should think of the bit as a tool to communicate with your horse. The brothers believe that your horse must be relaxed, and for him to be relaxed, his mouth must be comfortable.
Julie Goodnight agrees with the Myler philosophy. She says, “I’ve learned that all the tactics horses use to evade the bit have to do with relieving tongue pressure, and that it’s only when the horse’s mouth is relaxed and comfortable that he can soften his neck, lift his shoulders and round his back. Conventional bits can put excessive pressure on the horse’s tongue, making him tense and resistant. Myler bits are designed to give the horse all the comfort and tongue release he can take, given his level of training and the rider’s ability.”
Myler Bits offer a choice of mouth pieces and side pieces. Plus, each bit is rated for a specific training level. Level 1 bits are designed for young or newly trained horses. Horses may progress through the levels depending on their training and their riders’ skill. Check out http://www.mylerbits.com for a full explanation of the levels and for guidance as you select the correct bit for you and your horse.
Myler Bits on TV: Watch for upcoming Horse Master episodes featuring bits—and guest host Dale Myler will appear for 2010 shows. Myler will join Goodnight to help riders understand why their horses toss their heads, carry their heads high, or otherwise avoid bit pressure. By switching bits and learning to ride with new tack, the training team will help solve aggravating problems.
If you’ll be in Central Colorado in September, 2009 and would like to work with Myler and Goodnight, apply to be a Horse Master cast member online at: http://www.horsemaster.juliegoodnight.com/apply.html
Goodnight says, “We're looking for horses that have control problems under saddle for either a lack of training or poor training or riding. Perhaps they toss their head, root on the reins, throw their head up or take hold of the bit and run off. Horses that will not round up into a collected frame and resist any pressure from the rider's hands. Horses that are stiff and braced in the neck any time you ask for a stop or turn. Horses that gape open the mouth (and are thought to need a “flash”, horses that put their tongues over the bit or stick their tongues outside their mouth when being ridden. If you have any of these problems with your horse, please apply!”
