This design allows the horse to comfortably elevate its tongue and swallow without experiencing palate pressure, making it an excellent "comfort bit." Unlike traditional mullen bits, it offers specific tongue relief while still effectively applying pressure to the bars and lips when the reins are engaged. Additionally, the sweet iron mouthpiece with a copper inlay promotes salivation and a pleasant taste, further encouraging relaxation and responsiveness in the horse.What is Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it improve communication?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a highly valued Myler feature that allows the shank of the bit to move independently of the mouthpiece. This crucial design element enables you to give clearer, more precise, one-sided rein cues without affecting the other side of the bit. This is vital for encouraging lateral flexion, bending, and refining intricate communication with your horse. ISM prevents pinching and significantly enhances the rider's ability to isolate signals, leading to a more responsive and understanding horse.What level of training is this bit suitable for, and what kind of leverage does the seven-shank design provide?The Myler Black Steel Seven Shank with Mullen Low Ported Barrel MB 06 is generally classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This means it's ideal for horses that have a foundational understanding of commands, possess a good disposition, and are progressing in their training. It's excellent for horses learning more advanced maneuvers such as bending, collection, lead changes, or those transitioning from more basic mouthpieces. The seven-shank design offers a mild to moderate degree of indirect (curb) rein action, providing increased leverage and the ability to refine cues for more sophisticated movements.What is "Black Steel," and how does the material age?The Myler Black Steel used in this bit is also known as sweet
