Frequently Asked Questions How do I properly size a Myler bit for my horse? Proper sizing is crucial for your horse's comfort and the bit's effectiveness. Myler bits are designed to sit slightly wider than traditional bits, typically showing approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's mouth. This unique fit prevents pinching and ensures even pressure distribution. While general guidelines exist, it's vital to consider your horse's individual mouth conformation, including tongue thickness and palate height, to choose the correct length and width for optimal comfort and communication. What type of horse is the Myler MB 04 mouthpiece best for, and how does it work? The Myler MB 04 is a Myler Level 2 mouthpiece, making it ideal for horses with basic training established, those progressing in their discipline, or horses transitioning from a Level 1 bit or single-jointed mouthpieces. Its "Low Port Comfort Snaffle" design applies gentle tongue pressure but, crucially, provides a 1/4" port for tongue relief. This allows the horse to swallow and relax, encouraging a softer, more willing mouth. The mouthpiece is curved to prevent pinching the lips and bars and often incorporates sweet iron with copper inlay to stimulate salivation and acceptance. What are the benefits of the full cheek design with hooks, and how do I use them? The full cheek design provides superior lateral guidance, reinforcing turning aids and preventing the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth, which is particularly helpful for greener horses. The integrated "hooks" (slots) offer versatile rein attachment, allowing for direct or indirect action. Attaching reins to the hooks stabilizes the bit, provides some poll pressure, and optimizes the bit's Independent Side Movement (ISM). To ensure proper positioning and prevent the bit from rotating forward or catching on objects, it is essential to use "bit keepers" (sold separately) with full cheek bits. What is Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it benefit my horse? Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a patented Myler feature where the barrel at the center of the mouthpiece acts as a bushing, allowing each side of the bit to move independently. This innovative design enables the rider to isolate one side of the bit for more precise cues. This
