This not only adds aesthetic appeal but also potentially further encourages salivation, enhancing bit acceptance. Frequently Asked Questions How does this bit ensure my horse's comfort and provide tongue relief? The Myler HBT Ported Barrel Snaffle Bit is engineered for maximum horse comfort, primarily through its innovative ported barrel design (e.g., MB 33 or MB 36). This port creates crucial space for your horse's tongue, eliminating pinching and allowing them to swallow comfortably and relax their jaw. This significant tongue relief reduces pressure points, encouraging your horse to work more willingly and respond to cues with greater ease. What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay materials? Both Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay are chosen for their unique properties that actively encourage salivation and bit acceptance. The Sweet Iron naturally oxidizes, creating a palatable, sweet taste that horses find appealing, promoting a moist and soft mouth. The Copper Inlay further enhances this effect, releasing a mild, sweet taste that also encourages salivation, leading to a more relaxed and responsive horse. How does this bit work in my horse's mouth and improve communication? This Myler Ported Barrel Snaffle (typically a Level 3 mouthpiece) is designed to apply little to no direct tongue pressure. Instead, it works primarily off the bars, lips, chin, and poll, providing clear and nuanced signals. The HBT shank offers stability and a mild degree of leverage, providing indirect curb rein action. Crucially, Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows you to move each side of the bit independently. This precise action enables clearer, more targeted communication, significantly improving your horse's understanding and response to your aids. Which type of horse is this bit best suited for? The Myler HBT Ported Barrel Snaffle Bit, with its Level 2-3 mouthpiece design (such as the MB 36), is generally recommended for well-trained, trustworthy, and consistent horses. These horses are expected to respond reliably to commands and are often working towards a higher degree of collection and athleticism. It's ideal for horses progressing from simpler snaffles or more experienced horses that are responsive to subtle cues and appreciate enhanced tongue relief and refined communication.
