Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Myler MB 01 Combination Bit distribute pressure, and what makes it unique?The Myler Combination Bit is designed as a sophisticated hybrid, distributing pressure across five distinct points: the horse's nose, poll, chin/jaw, tongue, and bars of the mouth. Its unique mechanism ensures that when rein pressure is applied, the horse first feels signals on the nose, chin, and poll before the mouthpiece fully engages the tongue and bars. This graduated pressure allows the horse an opportunity to respond to lighter cues, leading to "kinder, softer communication." Additionally, the MB 01 Comfort Snaffle mouthpiece is curved to prevent pinching and offers independent side movement (ISM), providing a gentler and more forgiving action than traditional snaffles.What are the specific benefits of the Sweet Iron mouthpiece?The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is a key feature, as it naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to moisture like your horse's saliva. This oxidation creates a distinctly sweet taste that actively encourages salivation and chewing activity. Increased salivation is highly beneficial, promoting bit acceptance, softening the horse's mouth, and contributing to a more comfortable, responsive, and willing partner. Rest assured, this oxidation is harmless and actually desired for its taste-enhancing properties.What level of leverage and control does the 6" shank provide?The 6-inch shank of the Myler MB 01 provides a moderate level of leverage and control. Shank length directly influences leverage; generally, a longer shank increases leverage. This moderate length offers effective communication and precise control, making it suitable for riders who need clear and consistent signals without excessive force. It strikes a crucial balance, providing ample communication for complex maneuvers while maintaining comfort for the horse, and is best suited
