Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat are Myler Curb Strap Hooks and why are they important for my riding?Myler Curb Strap Hooks are specialized attachments designed to connect a curb strap to Myler bits featuring "modified snaffle cheeks" or "cheeks with hooks." Their primary function is to enable curb pressure and leverage, which helps stabilize the bit in your horse's mouth. This stabilization leads to better distribution of pressure across the horse's mouth, back of the jaw (curb area), and poll. This improved pressure distribution encourages the horse to relax at the poll and can result in a softer, more responsive feel, allowing the rider to use a lighter, more effective hand.Which Myler bits are these hooks compatible with?These hooks are specifically designed for "updated Myler bits with hooks" or Myler "cheekpieces with hooks and curb loops." You can identify compatible bits by looking for a small, dedicated metal loop located near the top of the bit's cheekpiece, which is precisely where these hooks are intended to attach.How do I install and properly adjust the Myler Curb Strap Hooks and curb strap?Installation is straightforward. You will thread your leather curb strap through the closed, square ends of the Myler Curb Strap Hooks. Once the curb strap is threaded, you then attach the hook portion to the small metal loop located on your Myler bit's cheekpiece. For proper adjustment, a common guideline suggests that the reins should be able to move approximately 1 to 1¼ inches before the curb strap engages the horse's chin. This ensures the curb only activates when intended, providing clear signals without constant pressure.What material are these hooks made from, and how durable are they?The Myler Curb Strap Hooks are constructed from high-quality stainless steel. This material choice ensures exceptional durability and resistance to rust and corrosion, even with regular exposure to equestrian environments. They are built to last, mirroring the quality and resilience expected from Myler products.How many hooks are included in a purchase?Typically, a purchase of the Myler Curb Strap Hooks for Modified Snaffle Cheeks includes a pair of hooks, providing one for each side of your bit.
