A copper inlay further enhances this sweetness, leading to better acceptance and a more relaxed mouth. Its Level 3 design also provides generous tongue relief, alleviating discomfort and improving communication.What is the tongue pressure and port design of the MB 16 mouthpiece?As a Level 3 bit, the Myler MB 16 boasts a generously wide and moderately high port. This design provides ample room for the horse's tongue, significantly minimizing direct palate pressure and allowing the horse to swallow freely. The bit primarily works off the bars of the mouth, chin, and poll, reducing direct tongue pressure which can often cause resistance.What are the material properties of sweet iron and copper inlay, and how should they be maintained?Sweet iron is prized for its ability to oxidize and develop a sweet, palatable taste, encouraging salivation. This oxidation forms a beneficial "patina" rather than harmful rust. Copper inlay also promotes salivation due to its warmth and sweetness. For maintenance, proper cleaning after each use and dry storage are recommended to prevent excessive roughness on the sweet iron and to maintain the copper's integrity, as it is a softer metal.What Myler Bitting System level is the MB 16, and for which horses is it suitable?The Myler MB 16 is classified as a Level 3 bit within the Myler Bitting System. This level is best suited for horses that have established a foundation in training and possess some riding experience. The Myler system is designed for a progressive approach, offering increasing tongue relief as a horse advances in its training.How does the Myler MB 16 Curb Bit's action and shank design work?The Myler MB 16 features a 7-inch flat shank, providing an indirect rein action that applies pressure to the mouth, chin (when used with a curb strap), and poll. This design offers more leverage and precise communication. It is commonly recommended for Western riding disciplines like reining and Western pleasure, where subtle rein cues are desired. A curb strap is generally advised for optimal use.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-11165Mouthpiece Material: Sweet Iron with Copper InlayShank Length: 7 inchesMyler Bitting System Level: 3Ready to transform your rides and deepen your bond?
