Meet the Mylers Introducing Dale, Ron, and Bob Myler, the creators of MylerBits Years ago Ron, a rodeo competitor and professional cutting horse trainer, realized that to get the very best from every horse he rode, he needed to communicate more effectively with them. That required a relaxed horse, ready and willing to receive a rider’s message. The end result was the patented Myler shank. Ron’s brother, Bob Myler, was formerly a machinist and welder who was skilled at working with metals. His clever mind for engineering created a bit that offered a curved mouthpiece for tongue relief, and is an integral part of the bitting system we have today. After seeing the success Ron achieved with the unique bits, Dale Myler, also an experienced horse trainer began using them as well. Soon, all three brothers were collaborating on bit design and theories. Dale’s extensive research into equine dentistry and equine physiology has brought an added understanding to the connection between bitting and the equine mouth. As a result of the bits’ popularity, there are now two types of Myler bits available to the public: custom handmade bits and a high quality line of production bits. Handmade bits, crafted in Marshfield, Missouri, offer unique bit combinations for a broad range of specific horse and rider needs, including a patented bushing system and numerous innovative mouthpieces. By 1998, the Mylers felt that their bits should be more accessible to horse people everywhere and, at that time, became affiliated with TOKLAT Originals of Lake Oswego, Oregon. TOKLAT Originals began producing many of the popular Myler bit designs in China, while retaining Myler’s rigid quality control standards. Since then, several significant design refinements have been added to both lines and horses and riders all over the world have enjoyed a greater level of comfort and communication. TOKLAT Originals now distributes the Myler/TOKLAT line worldwide. http://www.toklat.com/myler/home.html
