The Myler Bitting System was invented by 3 American brothers, who were looking for a gentler, more effective way of communicating with horses.

• that the pressure is as comfortable as possible and non-damaging and there is more tongue room to allow swallowing. (All mouthpieces are curved, some have ports, and they have barrels, or sleeves, covering the joints, to prevent pinching and to produce more of a “wrap” feel rather than the nutcracker action on the bars given by most snaffle-type bits);
  
• that the horse is rewarded by the pressure being released more effectively when he does what is asked (eg. brings his head into the desired position);
  
• that the independent side action (see below) allows a much clearer signal to the horse;
  
  
• that the most appropriate bit is used for each individual horse at that specific period of his training.

D-Itch - designed to target the cause of the irrition

D-Itch Lotion - designed to soothe seasonal irritations

Shine & Show is designed to give that winning show ring shine that will catch the eye of any judge. Low in silica, Shine & Show leaves the coat glossy, with a natural, silky feel and because it also helps to repel the dust, the coat stays clean and shiny for longer.

There's a twist... NAF has included citronella in the formula, which will help to repel the flies and therefore help the horse maintain concentration and mood while sparkling in the ring on a hot sunny day.

"I use PowerFlex™ because it delivers maximum support for my horses…" D. Wayne Lukas

As a Thoroughbred race horse trainer, I strongly recommend self-adhering bandage as a support wrap. I use PowerFlex™ because it has superior strength in comparison to other wraps and delivers maximum support for my horses.

I have found PowerFlex™ to be a durable bandage that will not shred, slip or loosen under adverse track conditions. It provides consistent compression and has as easy hand tear for quick application. We wouldn’t be without it.

I believe that using PowerFlex™ in combination with a well-balanced training program allows my horses to complete at the highest level. We use it on a daily basis to assure maximum performance and minimize race track injuries.

A great product.

Sincerely,

D. Wayne Lukas
