This Level 1 Comfort Snaffle is designed for horses beginning bit contact or in foundational training. Its curved mouthpiece comfortably accommodates the horse's tongue, allowing for natural swallowing and distributing pressure evenly across the tongue and bars when the reins are engaged. This design encourages a gentle "restrict and release" action, teaching the horse to respond to pressure. A significant feature for clear communication is the Independent Side Movement (ISM), where each side of the bit moves separately. This provides more precise signals for turning and lateral work without driving the center joint into the tongue, making it highly effective for green or young horses.What is the purpose of the copper inlay and what are its benefits?The thoughtful addition of a copper inlay is specifically designed to encourage salivation. This promotes a softer, more relaxed jaw and greater acceptance of the bit by your horse. Many horses find the taste of copper appealing, which further aids in achieving a more comfortable and responsive mouth during rides.Why choose a Dee Ring cheek piece, and how does it enhance communication?The Dee Ring cheek piece is a popular choice due to its superior stability in the horse's mouth. This stability prevents the bit from sliding through, ensuring consistent contact and clear communication with your horse. The Dee ring's shape also aids in delivering direct turning signals, helping to guide your horse precisely and effectively for lateral movements. Additionally, it helps prevent pinching at the corners of the mouth, enhancing overall comfort.How do I ensure proper sizing and fit for this Myler Dee Snaffle Bit?Proper sizing and fit are crucial for your horse's comfort and the bit's effectiveness. The bit should rest comfortably in your horse's mouth, typically creating one or two gentle wrinkles at the corners without pinching or excessive side-to-side movement. Myler bits are often noted to measure slightly larger (e.g., 1/8 inch) than their stated size to ensure adequate space and prevent discomfort. Always consider your horse's unique mouth conformation, including tongue thickness and palate height. If you are unsure, consulting a professional bit fitter or experienced trainer is highly recommended for optimal fit.Invest in your partnership today.
