LM Barrel Racing, Lynn McKenzie Myler Barrel Racing Bits, Clinics, Equipment, The Practice Pen, Road 2 Glory Ministry Cross

We have had barrel racers through the years that have asked about the Myler Bits and now Lynn working with the Myler brothers and Toklat Originals has produced a line of Lynn McKenzie bits by Myler. Using Lynn's expertise in designing bits for Barrel Racing coupled with that of the unique concepts of the Myler brothers, here is a collection of bits especially designed for Barrel Racing horses.

The influx of new blood lines into Barrel Racing has produced horses that are extremely athletic and yet very sensitive. There is still a place for the old standby bits from earlier times (LM Rope Nose Combinations, Lifter bits, Stivers hackamores) but most of the newer Barrel Racing bloodlines need bits that spread the pressure over multiple areas. Lynn feels that the Myler bits are best because they do not concentrate the pressure in any one area. Horses tend to be much more responsive to this type of bit.


$95.00 7" Flat Shank with Med Port Mouthpiece. This is a great bit for horses that tend to drop their front end in front of a barrel. Mares are notorious for turning on the front end. This bit will help hold them up and push them back on their hip.	$135.00 3 Ring Combination with Triple Barrel MP Works well on horses that resent standard-type bits. They show their displeasure by shaking their heads and refusing to relax. The way pressure is distributed over the face causes the horse to drop his head into the bit. The triple barrel mouth lies softly across the tongue causing many horses to relax and soften at the poll. Use with or without the tie down.	$135.00 3 Ring Combination with 43 Low Port This bit will drop a horse over in the poll, rounding the back to help engage the hind-quarters. This bit is good for horses that are light in the bit but need help collecting. However, it doesn't offer enough control to hold the front end up if the horse is determined to drop at the barrel. Use with or without the tie down.
$150.00 Long Shank Comb. w/ Triple Barrel Mouth My favorite bit in this series. Works well on horses that resent standard-type bits and refuse to relax. The way the pressure is distributed over the face causes the horse to drop his head into the bit. The mouthpiece lies softly across the tongue causing many horses to relax and soften at the poll. A good choice for soft, slow hands. Use with or without the tie down.	$145.00 Long Shank Combo w/ 43 Low Port Mouth Horses that push on the bit going into or around the barrel can be very annoying to the rider. This bit is good for horses with a pushy face that need to come to the bit. The 43LP will help contain the face and bring it more vertical so he can engage the hindquarters. Will also pick up the front ended horses to some degree. Use with or without the tie down.	$130.00 Short MMB w/ 03 Comfort Snaffle Mouth The short shank makes the mouthpiece work quickly, but because it is a short shank, not much pressure is put on the mouthpiece. This mouthpiece is great for horses who like to push off, root, or lug on the bit. This could be a great bit for colts coming out of a draw bit.
