This wide, low port is explicitly designed with a 45-degree forward tilt, providing generous and significant tongue relief. This allows your horse to swallow comfortably and reduces the common pressure often associated with traditional or lower-level bits, enhancing overall comfort.How does this bit improve communication between me and my horse?Enhanced communication is a core benefit of this bit. The forward tilt port applies gentle tongue pressure, combined with pressure to the bars and lips, for precise and subtle signals when the reins are engaged. Furthermore, the patented Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently, enabling you to give distinct cues for bending, balancing, and collection, leading to improved responsiveness and a clearer dialogue.What contributes to my horse's overall comfort and relaxation with this bit?Several design elements work together for maximum comfort and relaxation. The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant taste, encouraging salivation and a relaxed jaw. The mouthpiece is also ergonomically curved to fit your horse's mouth, gently wrapping the bars and lips without pinching and ensuring ample space for the tongue, even when the reins are not engaged. This comprehensive design promotes a calm and comfortable equine partner.Is this bit suitable for my horse? What Myler Level is it?This bit falls into the Myler Bitting System Level 2-3 category. It is typically suitable for horses with a good foundation of training and a consistent disposition. It can also be an excellent option for highly trained horses that might show signs of anxiety, aggression, or fear, as it utilizes less direct tongue pressure than Level 1 or 2 bits, primarily communicating through bar, poll, and chin pressure, with only slight tongue pressure for reinforcement.What kind of leverage does the Embossed Shank provide?The Embossed Shank refers to the bit's cheekpiece, which provides leverage. This design typically uses an indirect curb rein action and is intended to be used with a curb strap. The shank offers moderate leverage, influencing the poll and chin in conjunction with the mouth, allowing for refined control and nuanced cues.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-65365Ready to experience a new era of comfort and clarity in your riding?
