Hello!
Thank you for writing to Toklat and for your interest in Myler bits. I adore Haflingers, but they can be pretty strong willed! What I would probably suggest for you is to definitely have a stronger bit to ride outside in, and maybe another mild bit to ride with in the ring. Here a few good suggestions for mouthpieces that might work for you:
* Myler Forward Tilt Ported Barrel - MB 36. Curved mouthpiece with upward curve and jointed barrel in the center. Entire mouthpiece is tilted forward. When the horse is not relaxed at the poll, the unique mouthpiece restricts the tongue and puts downward pressure on top of the bars. Once the horse relaxes at the poll, the mouthpiece releases the tongue and works off the bars. Each side of the mouthpiece moves independently. Turns solid when asking for a stop. Level 2.
* Myler Correctional Low Port - MB 27LP Curved mouthpiece with two hinges and upward-curved piece in the center. Port measures 1 1/2" Puts downward pressure on tongue and bars, collapses on outside of bars. Rewards the horse with a “comfort zone” when relaxed at the poll. Good bit for collection and stopping. Works well for spoiled horses and horses who run through the bit. A good choice for horses with low palates.
* Myler Correctional Low Ported Barrel - MB 27PB Curved mouthpiece with two hinges and slightly upward-curved center piece with a barrel. Port measures 1 1/4". Will provide tongue and bar pressure, will collapses on the outside of bars, features Independent Side Movement™. Allows the rider to isolate one side of the bit to lift a shoulder and rewards a horse with a “comfort zone” when relaxed at the poll. A good bit for collection and stopping, as well as for spoiled horses, horses which run through the bit and those which drop a shoulder.
As far as cheekpieces are concerned, this is more preference of the rider than anything else. However, I do recommend something that will give you a little leverage. If you go with a ring bit I definitely recommend getting one with hooks. Hooks provide stationary attachments for the bridle and reins, so when rein pressure is applied there is some poll pressure there to encourage the horse to soften. You can also choose from any of the Myler Shanks, which will also give you some leverage.
Also, be sure to visit our website at
www.toklat.com to read more about the Myler bitting philosophy and to view the different mouthpieces and cheekpieces. I also suggest seeing if you have a Myler Rental Dealer in your area. As it can take some time for your horse to adjust to a new bit it can take a few tries before you will find out if it will work for your horse or not. Through a rental dealer you can find out what works for your horse without having to buy an expensive bit that might not be a good fit. You can go to
www.rentmylerbits.com to see if you have a rental dealer in your area, if you don’t then you can go to
www.horse-rider-etc.com to rent one online.
I hope this information helps, if you have any more questions please feel free tow rite me back and ask!
