Today's bit du jour was a myler. It's a full cheek with slots for the cheek pieces of the bridle and is shaped. It looks sort of like this:
Imagine this same bit except make it a full cheek. It has copper inlay on the mouth and the joint is single. It's covered by that barrel thingy. I guess it was ok. Still think I'll need something with a little more leverage but we'll see.
Thinking about putting Charlie on SmartGut. He just doesn't seem to have a great coat and he cribs and while he isn't super nervous, something just makes me think this might be a good idea. I suppose I've gone a bit beyond thinking as I ordered a 28-day supply to give it a whirl. If I see a difference, I'll switch to the SmartPaks. If anyone has any thoughts, good or bad, I'd love to hear them. I'm obviously not a huge fan of spending money to spend money, but if it makes the pony happy...
A happy Charlie!
So Henry is on Smartcombo (http://www.smartpakequine.com/smartcombo-pellets-9473p.aspx?cm_vc=Search) and I love it. Yes it is on the "pricer" side but for all the things you get it is a great deal. Henry eats it up and he can be a skeptical eater haha! Hope that helps! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! That does make me feel better. I'll probably find a cheaper coat supplement to add onto the SmartGut (like SmartShine) to take advantage of the free shipping. I love SmartPak - I don't know how we did it before they came into existence. Thanks much for telling me about Henry's SmartPaks! :-)
Deleteyep Smartpak seriously is awesome! I am sure you will find a perfect combo for Charlie :)
