on Horsemans Edge or the Horse show or something on RFDTV this week is the guy from Myler talking about bits and bitting. In typically maddening totally ridiculous non-informative way he shows videos of horses acting up and describes perfectly the problem "see this horse is wringing his tail and bracing, look at his mouth, his tongue is drawn back, he is seeking tongue relief...
then of course he says something like how myler bits in various styles offer various levels of tongue relief. and there you have it. in essence what he said was, see these horses are in pain, they need tongue relief, They need a bit made to relieve pain in the mouth. Then says not one word on how to FIX it. did not show one bit configuration which might, for example, offer tongue relief. and this is very important to me personally since I have one horse, Fox, who is always seeking tongue relief and I just cant seem to find a way to give it... the only thing that seems even slightly ok is a happy mouth french link but he still gapes and tries to get relief when I first put it on. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr i hate this! Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
