It features shanks that provide leverage, applying gentle pressure to the poll, chin groove, and tongue. Myler Weymouth bits are designed to facilitate refined communication and offer precise control, promoting a collected and responsive horse.What is the benefit of the "Wide Ported Barrel" (MB 16PB) mouthpiece?The MB 16PB is a Myler Level 2-3 mouthpiece, known for offering significant tongue relief. Its wide and moderately high port creates ample space for the horse's tongue, minimizing direct pressure on the palate and allowing the horse to swallow more comfortably. This thoughtful design encourages the horse to relax its jaw and accept the bit more readily, leading to a softer and more consistent contact.How does the Myler 5 1/2" Weymouth bit reduce palate pressure?Unlike many traditional bits that can impinge on the horse's palate due to insufficient tongue space, the MB 16PB mouthpiece features a generous, elevated, and wide port. This design physically lifts the bit off the palate, allowing the tongue to be comfortably positioned underneath the port. This significantly reduces pressure points and common discomforts associated with traditional ported bits, promoting a happier mouth.What are the advantages of independent side movement?Independent side movement means each side of the bit can move somewhat separately from the other. This allows the rider to give more refined and targeted cues. For example, applying pressure to one rein primarily affects that side of the horse's mouth, enabling clearer turning aids, precise lateral work, and more subtle communication without engaging the entire mouth unnecessarily. This precision leads to a more responsive and willing horse.What materials are used in this bit and why?This Myler Weymouth bit is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, renowned for its durability, rust resistance, and ease of maintenance. It also features beneficial copper inlays within the mouthpiece. Copper is traditionally used in bits because it promotes salivation in the horse's mouth. Increased salivation encourages a softer, more responsive mouth, making the horse more accepting of the bit and the rider's aids.Is this bit suitable for all horses?The MB 16PB mouthpiece is generally well-suited for horses that are accustomed to accepting a bit and are ready for a more refined level of communication. It's particularly beneficial for horses that tend to fuss with the bit, have sensitive palates, or need more tongue relief than a non-ported bit provides. However, bit choice is highly individual, and it's always recommended to consult with an experienced trainer or bit fitter to determine the best fit for your specific
