Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat makes the Myler MB 33 Ported Barrel mouthpiece unique and what Myler level is it?The Myler MB 33 mouthpiece is renowned for offering the mildest tongue pressure and providing generous tongue relief due to its wide, low port. This design allows the horse's tongue to pass almost completely under the bit, engaging primarily with the lips and bars of the mouth, with minimal to no palate pressure. This promotes a relaxed and comfortable experience, making it ideal for horses that may resist traditional tongue pressure. It is classified as a Myler Level 3 bit, specifically designed for "finished" or well-schooled horses.What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron material and how should I maintain it?The "sweet iron" mouthpiece naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to moisture in the horse's mouth. This harmless oxidation process releases a subtle, sweet taste that encourages salivation, promoting a relaxed jaw and a softer, more pliable response from your horse. To maintain your sweet iron bit, simply wipe the mouthpiece thoroughly after each ride to remove moisture and debris. For longer storage, applying a thin coat of vegetable oil can help manage the oxidation process.How do the "2 Hooks" on the Western Dee cheekpiece enhance communication and stability?The two integrated hooks on the Western Dee cheekpiece serve a crucial purpose: they fix the bridle in place, preventing the bit from sliding around the ring, which provides exceptional stability in the horse's mouth. These hooks also offer versatile rein attachment positions, facilitating both direct rein action and allowing a smooth transition to indirect rein action without needing to change the bit or add leverage. This fixed yet flexible design enhances precise communication.Which type of horse and rider is this Myler Level 3 bit best suited for?This Myler Level 3 bit, with its MB 33 mouthpiece, is specifically designed for experienced riders and "finished" horses. These are horses that are well-schooled, consistently trustworthy, and respond readily to subtle leg and seat cues.
