Parelli Myler Cradle Bits
Myler Bits USA and Parelli Natural Horsemanship have partnered to design a new series of bits. The Myler brothers have developed a reputation for their commitment to developing the most comfortable and effective bits in the industry. Parelli is one of the top practitioners and proponents of Natural Horsemanship. The Parelli/Myler Cradle Bridle is creating a revolution.

The Cradle Bit features:
  • Three designs to match different horse personalities
    • C1 - "Crazy" Right-Brian Extrovert
    • C2 - "Unpredictable" Right-Brain Introvert
    • C3 - "Nauty" Left-Brian Extrovert and "Stubborn" Left-Brain Introvert
  • Stainless steel cradle shank
  • Sweet iron ported barrel
  • Copper inlay mouth
  • Braided tie noseband
  • Support string to keep noseband from slipping by tying it to the browband
  • Stretch knotted curb strap
  • Hand crafted in the USA

The testimonials are impressive. Horses who are habitually nervous, head tossing and avoiding the bit, become calm and accepting. In some cases, the difference is noticeable from the moment the bridle is put on.
