You can confidently use it in official competitions, knowing it meets the stringent requirements of both governing bodies. How does this bit ensure my horse's comfort and relaxation? Horse comfort is paramount in this Myler design. The eggbutt cheekpiece provides a very stable fit, preventing pinching at the corners of the mouth. The low port Mullen barrel (MB 06) distributes pressure evenly across the tongue without contacting the palate, offering significant tongue relief. Additionally, the copper inlay encourages salivation, promoting a softer, more relaxed jaw and acceptance of the bit. What Myler Level is this bit and for what type of horse is it best suited? This bit features the Myler MB 06 mouthpiece, which is generally considered a Myler Level 2. It's ideal for horses that have learned basic rein aids, are comfortable with direct tongue pressure, and are ready for a bit that offers more tongue relief and allows for greater relaxation through the jaw. It's an excellent choice for horses transitioning from a Level 1 mouthpiece or those that are naturally sensitive. How does the mouthpiece design improve communication between horse and rider? The low port Mullen barrel (MB 06) is designed to provide even, consistent pressure across the horse's tongue, which is the primary pressure point. This consistent contact, combined with the stability of the eggbutt cheekpiece, allows for very clear and subtle communication from the rider. It encourages the horse to relax through the poll and jaw, making them more receptive to aids and fostering a truly responsive partnership. What is the benefit of the copper inlay in the mouthpiece? The copper inlay serves a crucial purpose in promoting horse comfort and acceptance. Copper has a naturally sweet taste and warms up quickly in the horse's mouth, both of which actively encourage salivation. Increased salivation helps to moisten and soften the horse's mouth, making them more receptive to the bit and promoting a more relaxed, willing, and supple performance.
