This is Jaspar's favorite bit. I bought one for Stonewall because it said it helps a horse to "collect". Stonewall acted like he had no bit at all with it. It cost so much I couldn't bear to not use it so I tried it on jaspar. The bridle needed adjusting because it hung so low and loose it almost fell out of his mouth. As I stepped around and reached to adjust the bridle, Jas picked up the bit and placed it where he wanted it. I was amazed. I had read in the Dorrance book that a horse would do this if you left the bit loose. Since then Jas wears his myler bit where it almost falls out of his mouth and when its time to go he picks it up and seats it, and when we stop to rest he drops it. Only thing I dislike about it is that the dang rawhide over the nose just appears so severe. I cringe when people remark on it. People think it is a gagamore. But I could honestly ride Jaspar with a halter, or even nothing, if it werent for him deciding to stop and eat blueberries whenever he wants. Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
