Its innovative design features a slight 1/4" low port that offers significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and move its tongue comfortably even while the bit is engaged. The curved bars are ergonomically shaped to prevent pinching of the lips and bars. A key to its precision is Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM), which allows each side of the bit to move independently. This empowers the rider to deliver precise, isolated cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a specific shoulder, leading to remarkably refined control.What are the specific advantages of the Sweet Iron mouthpiece and Copper Inlay, and how should I care for them?The Sweet Iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to air and moisture, creating a pleasant, sweet taste in your horse's mouth. This actively encourages salivation, helping to soften the mouth and promote superior bit acceptance. The integrated Copper Inlay further stimulates the horse's mouth, enhancing salivation and fostering a more positive, receptive attitude towards the bit. To care for your bit, simply rinse and wipe it clean after each use. The natural oxidation of sweet iron is a desired feature for its taste, so while you should remove dirt, embrace the slight discoloration as part of its beneficial design.Which types of horses will benefit most from the Myler MB 04 Snaffle Bit?The Myler MB 04 is an excellent transitional bit, ideal for a wide range of horses. It's particularly well-suited for horses moving from a Level 1 Myler bit or a traditional single-jointed snaffle. This makes it a perfect choice for green horses, those with basic training developing balance and collection, or horses needing re-schooling. Its design aims to significantly reduce bit resistance and foster a deeper, more trusting connection between horse and rider, making it a versatile tool across various disciplines.What should I know about the fit and sizing of the Myler MB 04 bit?Proper fit is crucial for any bit's effectiveness and your horse's comfort. The Myler MB 04 typically features a loose ring design, with the ring diameter often being 3 inches (76mm). While general sizing principles apply, some users have noted this particular bit can "run large" compared to other loose-ring bits. It is advisable to consider this feedback and potentially size down from what you typically use to ensure an optimal and snug fit that maximizes the benefits of its ergonomic design.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-11047Add to Cart and experience the difference in comfort, control,
