The ported barrel design offers a more nuanced, precise communication than solid mouthpieces, allowing for extremely refined rein aids and better overall control without compromising comfort. It's about clear communication, not coercion.Please Note: This bit is not USEF legal. Always refer to your specific organization's rule book for the most current regulations.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the ported barrel provide tongue relief and comfort?The ported barrel design creates space for the horse's tongue, significantly reducing direct pressure across the tongue. This allows for comfortable swallowing, prevents pinching, and encourages the horse to relax its jaw, leading to a softer mouth and better responsiveness to rein aids. It's a key feature for horses that dislike constant tongue pressure.What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it benefit my horse?Myler bits with Independent Side Movement (ISM), like this one, allow each side of the bit to move independently. This revolutionary design enables more refined and specific rein cues, allowing you to isolate pressure on one side of the horse's mouth for precise lateral control and communication without affecting the pressure or signal on the other side. This promotes clearer communication and encourages the horse to yield more readily.How does the copper inlay encourage salivation and acceptance?Copper is a highly palatable material for horses and naturally stimulates salivation. When the copper inlay comes into contact with the horse's mouth, it encourages the horse to produce more saliva, leading to a softer, 'wetter' mouth. This increased salivation can lead to greater acceptance of the bit, improved comfort, and a more relaxed jaw, enhancing overall responsiveness.Is the stainless steel construction durable and safe?Yes, Myler uses high-quality stainless steel for its mouthpieces. This material is renowned for its exceptional durability, resistance to corrosion, and non-toxic properties. It ensures a safe, hygienic, and long-lasting bit that can withstand the rigors of daily use and maintain its integrity over time.Is this bit (MB 33, Level 3) suitable for my horse?The MB 33 (Level 3) bit is designed for horses that are more experienced, have a solid foundation, and are responsive to refined rein aids. It offers a higher degree of communication and tongue relief than Level 1 or 2 bits due to its significant port. It's ideal for horses that are comfortable with direct tongue relief, need refined lateral communication, and are ready for more advanced schooling or competition. Always consider your horse's individual temperament and training level.
