Frequently Asked Questions How does the Myler Wide Port Comfort Snaffle ensure my horse's comfort and tongue relief? The Myler Medium Wide Port Comfort Snaffle (MB 05) is specifically designed with a generous forward curve and a wide port to provide maximum tongue relief. This allows your horse more room to swallow freely and comfortably, preventing the "nutcracker" action common with traditional snaffles. It distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, encouraging relaxation and better communication. Additionally, Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling clearer, more precise cues without contradictory pressure, further enhancing comfort and responsiveness. What role do the Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay play in my horse's acceptance of the bit? Both materials are chosen to encourage salivation and acceptance. The Sweet Iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture in the horse's mouth, creating a pleasant, sweet taste that prompts salivation. This helps to soften the horse's jaw and promote a more relaxed mouth. The copper inlay also contributes to this effect; copper is known for its warmth and natural sweetness, further stimulating salivation and making the bit more inviting. This combination is particularly beneficial for horses with "dry, hard mouths," as it helps to moisten the mouth and promote pliability. Rest assured, the oxidation of Sweet Iron is normal and beneficial! How does the HBT Shank and Independent Side Movement enhance communication and control? The 5" HBT Shank provides a stable, balanced feel with mild leverage, making it versatile for various disciplines and situations, including trail riding where light grazing might be desired due to its shorter length. The key innovation is Independent Side Movement (ISM), which allows each side of the bit to move separately. This means you can apply pressure to one side without affecting the other, allowing for incredibly precise cues for lateral flexion, bending, lifting a shoulder, or balancing, leading to a much more responsive and understanding horse, without confusing signals.
