These horses typically understand basic commands and can perform advanced maneuvers. The "Level 3" designation indicates a bit that allows for substantial tongue freedom, minimizing pressure on the tongue and sitting low in the mouth to avoid interference with the palate, making it suitable for horses that object to tongue pressure.What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron mouthpiece, and will it rust?The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is a key feature, as it naturally oxidizes (rusts) to produce a sweet taste that encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit. This helps the horse relax its jaw and become more responsive. The rust created by sweet iron is not harmful; in fact, it's beneficial as it promotes a pleasant experience for the horse. To maintain its effectiveness and appearance, occasional cleaning and allowing it to air dry will ensure the sweet iron continues to oxidize.How does this bit improve communication and comfort for my horse?The Myler MB 16PB significantly improves communication through its Independent Side Movement (ISM), which allows each side of the bit to move independently. This provides clearer, more precise signals to your horse, enhancing responsiveness. For comfort, the mouthpiece features an ergonomic curved design that prevents pinching and conforms to the horse's natural mouth anatomy. The wide ported barrel also allows the horse to swallow more easily, contributing to a relaxed and comfortable experience.What type of action does this bit have, and how do I ensure the correct 5" mouth fit?As a shank bit, the Myler MB 16PB utilizes indirect leverage action, applying gentle pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll. A curb strap is generally required for proper function, working in conjunction with the shank to provide clear signals. For the 5" mouth sizing, it's crucial to measure your horse's mouth accurately from corner to corner to ensure a comfortable fit. An incorrect size, especially for horses with fleshy tongues or low palates, can lead to discomfort. If unsure, consult with an experienced saddler or trainer to ensure the
