It features a wide barrel with a 1/4" low port, which provides some tongue relief while still applying pressure to the tongue and bars of the mouth. Its curved shape is designed to prevent pinching of the lips and bars. A key feature is the patented "Independent Side Movement" (ISM), allowing each side of the bit to move independently, which provides clearer, more precise signals to the horse.What are the specific advantages of the eggbutt cheekpiece design?The eggbutt cheekpiece offers enhanced stability compared to loose-ring snaffles, making it beneficial for horses that are hesitant into contact or for riders with unsteady hands. Its fixed design prevents the bit from being easily pulled through the horse's mouth and minimizes pinching at the corners of the lips. This stability promotes comfort, a more direct signal, and better acceptance for the horse.Why does this bit feature a copper inlay, and what are the main materials?The copper inlay is primarily included to encourage salivation and increase the horse's acceptance and comfort with the bit. Copper is known for its warmth and natural sweetness, which can stimulate the horse to soften its mouth. The bit's core construction from high-quality stainless steel ensures exceptional durability and rust resistance, providing the benefits of copper without the structural weakness or faster wear of a full copper mouthpiece.How do I ensure I choose the correct size Myler bit for my horse?Myler bits are designed to measure slightly larger (typically 1/8" to 1/4" more than the stated size) to prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth. Correct bit width is crucial for optimal comfort and
