It's ideal for young, green, or inexperienced horses who are learning to "break at the poll" and respond to gentle, clear aids without excessive tongue pressure.How do the French Link mouthpiece and ergonomic design enhance comfort and communication?The French Link mouthpiece features a double-jointed design with a flat center plate, significantly reducing the "nutcracker" effect often seen in single-jointed bits. This distributes pressure more evenly across your horse's tongue, bars, and lips, promoting comfort and encouraging a softer, more responsive mouth. Myler's overall ergonomic, curved mouthpiece design provides more room for the tongue, preventing pinching and allowing the horse to swallow comfortably, leading to less resistance and clearer communication.What is the role of the copper inlay?The strategically placed copper inlay serves an important purpose: copper naturally oxidizes and produces a slightly sweet taste. This encourages salivation and jaw relaxation in your horse, which in turn promotes a softer mouth, better acceptance of the bit, and a more willing partnership during rides.What are the benefits of the Dee Ring cheekpiece for stability and steering?The Dee Ring cheekpiece offers several advantages. Its fixed design provides superior stability for the bit in the horse's mouth, which is especially beneficial for horses with busy mouths or riders with less steady hands. This stability prevents the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth and enhances lateral control, delivering clear, direct turning aids for improved steering and responsiveness, similar to a full cheek snaffle without the longer arms.How should I properly size and fit this Myler bit?Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Myler bits, due to their unique curved design, can sometimes appear slightly larger than traditional bits. Generally, for a correct fit, you should aim for approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit to be visible on each side of your horse's mouth. This ensures the bit sits comfortably without pinching or rubbing at the corners of the lips, maximizing the intended benefits of the Myler design.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-21105Add to Cart and experience the difference in communication and comfort with your horse today!
