Myler Bit Company

In Natural Mulemanship, we’ve talked a lot about how we can use the right way of thinking to work with the mule--but the equipment we use on the animal should be considered too--no piece of equipment is more important than the bit we put in their mouth. I’m really excited to be able to offer you the knowledge of the men behind the Myler Bit Company. As trainers they learned what worked best for the horse and mule and why. As designers and manufacturers they have developed a line that is innovative and successful. For quite a few years they have gone to great lengths to help me with bitting questions and problems--I always wished that more people had benefit of their knowledge. In the next few issues, I will share with you their ideas--prepare to be surprised! You may learn that some of the ideas you have been taught about how a bit works and its severity or lack of are actually opposite of the proven facts!
