Toklat
Toklat has been at the intersection of performance, comfort, and innovation in equestrian equipment for decades — and their two flagship lines, Myler Bits and Cool Back Saddle Pads, represent the state of the art in their respective categories. If you ride with Myler bits or Cool Back pads, you already know why Toklat matters.
What Riders Ask About Toklat
What makes Toklat Cool Back pads different from standard saddle pads?
The Toklat Cool Back Standard Saddle Pad uses a double-thick orthopedic fleece pile construction made in the USA — the fiber structure creates airflow channels that allow heat and moisture to dissipate rather than build up under the saddle. For horses that get hot through the back during sustained work or in warm weather, Cool Back technology makes a noticeable difference in how fresh they feel at the end of a long session. It is particularly popular with trail riders, endurance riders, and anyone working horses in warm climates.
Is Toklat the same as Myler Bits?
Yes — Toklat Originals is the company behind the Myler Bits system. Dale Myler's philosophy of equine comfort and tongue relief is reflected throughout Toklat's product line, making them the go-to source for riders who want bit designs built on the principle of rewarding the horse rather than pressuring them into compliance. The full Myler level system — from Level 1 gentle snaffles to Level 3 advanced finishing bits — is available through Toklat.
What disciplines are Toklat products designed for?
Toklat covers both Western and English disciplines. The Myler bit system has configurations for barrel racing, reining, trail riding, dressage, jumping, and general pleasure — the comfort philosophy applies across disciplines. Cool Back pads are particularly popular in Western disciplines, endurance, and trail riding where saddles are worn for extended periods and back health is a priority.
