It's highly recommended for starting young horses, retraining mature horses, or as a gentle transition from Level 1 bits. Its design makes it an excellent choice for horses with sensitive mouths or those showing resistance to traditional bits, often providing a more comfortable and accepted solution.How does the MB 04 mouthpiece ensure both comfort and clear communication?The MB 04 mouthpiece is crafted with a slight 1/4" port, providing essential tongue relief that allows your horse to swallow and move its tongue naturally. Its ergonomically curved bars are designed to wrap comfortably around the lips and bars of the mouth, preventing pinching and creating more space for the tongue. Furthermore, the innovative Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) allows each side of the bit to move independently, offering clearer, more precise communication for specific cues like bending or lifting a shoulder without confusing your horse.What is the purpose of the copper inlay in this bit?The strategically placed copper inlay serves to encourage natural salivation and promote a softer, more relaxed mouth. This "sweet taste" makes the bit more palatable and readily accepted by your horse, fostering a more harmonious connection and enhancing their overall comfort with the bit.Are there any considerations for the loose ring design?The loose ring design is generally considered non-interfering and promotes relaxation by allowing the mouthpiece to move freely, reducing direct leverage. However, it's crucial to ensure correct sizing to prevent pinching at the corners of your horse's lips. If you notice a "busy" mouth in young or anxious horses, or if pinching occurs, using bit guards or re-evaluating the size can help mitigate these issues, ensuring optimal comfort.Is the Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Snaffle legal for dressage competitions, and how should I size it?Yes, absolutely! The Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Comfort Snaffle is approved for both USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) and FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) dressage competitions, allowing you to compete with confidence. For sizing, it's important to measure your horse's mouth accurately. Myler bits can sometimes measure slightly larger than their stated size, so ensure the bit length allows the loose rings to sit comfortably without pinching your horse's lips, and that the mouthpiece provides adequate space for the tongue and palate.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-28148Elevate your partnership today.
