The curved mouthpiece helps prevent pinching, and the sweet iron encourages salivation for a softer, more accepting mouth, often making it suitable for horses with moderate sensitivity. However, due to its correctional nature and high port, it's best suited for horses that have basic training and need clear, precise communication rather than a purely mild bit.Q: What type of horse is this bit best suited for, and at what training level?A: This bit is ideal for horses that have moved past basic training and are in the refinement stages, often categorized as Myler Level 2-3. It's excellent for horses that show some self-carriage but may still present a challenging disposition or need help understanding more nuanced cues. It provides clear communication and gentle correction to help advance their training.Q: How does the MB 27HP correctional high port mouthpiece function to provide correction?A: The unique MB 27HP mouthpiece is engineered to collapse onto the outer lip and bars, then gently rotate onto the tongue. This design applies concentrated pressure points for quick, precise control when both reins are engaged. The 2-inch high port offers substantial tongue relief, but its height also allows for palate pressure, which can be a key correctional signal for horses with sufficient tongue room.Q: What is the specific benefit of the Independent Side Movement (ISM) feature?A: Independent Side Movement allows each side of the mouthpiece to move separately. This gives the rider the ability to provide subtle and distinct rein cues to each side of the horse's mouth. This enhances communication for things like shoulder control, lateral flexion, and guiding without over-stimulating the horse, leading to a more nuanced and responsive partnership.Q: How should I care for the Sweet Iron mouthpiece, and what should I expect regarding its appearance?A: The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is designed to naturally oxidize (rust) when exposed to air and moisture, which is harmless and encourages salivation for a relaxed mouth. To care for it, simply rinse and thoroughly dry the mouthpiece after each use to ensure even corrosion and prevent excessive buildup. This natural oxidation process will cause the mouthpiece to develop a unique, antique brown patina over time, which is a desirable characteristic.Ready to elevate your horsemanship?
