Frequently Asked Questions What is the Myler Level of this bit, and how does the MB 36 mouthpiece work? The Myler Black Steel Seven Shank features the MB 36 mouthpiece, classified as a **Myler Level 2-3**. This means it offers a moderate degree of tongue relief compared to lower-level Myler bits. Its distinctive 1-inch forward-tilted port allows your horse to comfortably position its tongue and swallow when relaxed. However, when rein pressure is applied, the mouthpiece rotates to engage the bars, lips, and some pressure to the tongue, facilitating clear, refined communication and encouraging collection. What type of leverage does the Seven Shank design provide? The Seven Shank design on this Myler bit provides **moderate to fairly strong leverage** through an indirect (curb) rein action. This makes it highly effective for horses that are progressing in their training and require more refined communication and leverage than a simple snaffle. It distributes pressure across the horse's mouth, chin, and poll, making it a powerful tool for advanced cues. It is crucial to always use a curb strap with this bit for proper function and stability. How does Independent Side Movement (ISM) benefit my horse and my communication? Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a significant Myler technology that allows each side of the bit's mouthpiece and shank to operate completely separately. This groundbreaking feature enables you to give **clearer, more precise lateral signals** for bending, balancing, and lifting a horse's shoulder without influencing the opposite side of the mouth. The result is enhanced suppleness, reduced confusion for your horse, and a more effective connection. What materials are used, and how do they contribute to my horse's comfort? The mouthpiece is crafted from **sweet iron with a copper inlay**, a combination chosen to maximize comfort. Sweet iron naturally oxidizes when it comes into contact with moisture, creating a pleasant, sweet taste that encourages salivation and promotes a softer, more relaxed mouth in your horse. The shanks are made of "Black Steel," which will naturally develop an attractive antique brown patina over time. Additionally, the **curved design** of the mouthpiece is specifically engineered to avoid pinching your horse's lips or bars, providing ample space for the tongue and ensuring maximum comfort.
