Mouthpieces with Western, Parelli and combination bits cheekpieces are sweet iron BITS which turns grey when exposed to moisture, releasing a sweet taste in the horse’s mouth. All mouthpieces have copper inlay to encourage Myler Mouthpieces salivation. Myler bits offer special features that make them truly unique. ISM Curved Mouthpiece Mouthpiece Thickness 1 2 3 1. Independent Side Movement™ The barrel in the center acts as a bushing, allowing each side of the bit to move independently of the other. When you lift one rein, only one side of the bit moves, giving the horse a very clear signal. Provides excellent shoulder control as well as lateral flexion. 2. Curved Mouthpiece Myler mouthpieces have a distinctive curve that creates more room for the tongue to pass under the bit so the horse can swallow more freely. Although Level 1 mouthpieces have a more pronounced curve, all Myler mouthpieces are curved to some degree. 3. Mouthpiece Thickness Most Myler mouthpieces are 7/16 thick (11.11mm), a thickness that allows the bit to fit comfortably in the horse’s mouth. In English bits, we offer a selection of mouthpieces that measure 14mm at the cheekpiece, 4 tapering to 11.11mm inside the mouth. This provides a slightly larger surface area on the bars and lips, but still provides ample room for the tongue inside the mouth.

One simple step BITS towards this goal is to make sure you have Myler Mouthpieces the correct size of bit. Myler bits fit a little differently than traditional bits because of their distinctive curve. If the bit fits properly, you should see at least 1/8 to 1/4 of bit on both sides of your horse’s mouth. To measure your horse accurately, you will need a wooden dowel or the handle of a wooden spoon. 1. Insert the dowel in your horse’s mouth where the bit would normally sit. 2. Wait until the horse relaxes in his mouth and stops chewing the dowel. MB 27PB HP MB 27 MB 29 Correctional Traditional Traditional Correctional 3.

VARSITY PENKSYUMM4IA, LIBRAHlCJb PUBLISHERS' PREFACE. ^ A long and varied experience with horses, in both Vv. civil and military capacities in different countries, gives ^ Colonel Battersby the ability to be of essential service [—;) both to the horse and to his owner in this volume. The treatise is not on bits alone, but on breaking and training "^ . horses for every use to which they are respectively adapt- ed, particularly to their use under the saddle and be- fore the carriage. The important part played by the bit in its various forms in rendering the horse the docile, willing servant he is, in promoting man's profit and pleasure, leads to the adoption of the title of the book. It is at once specific and comprehensive. Tender consid- eration and respect for the horse is the impression the author makes and inculcates—that by proper mouthing, training, use and treatment he can be made all the more serviceable, and at the same time more agreeable to his rider or driver in the performance of his work.

    MAN MADE MOBILE Early Saddles of Western North America <. HSKIS^ Richard E. EDITOR SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given sub­ stantive review.
