Lighter rein pressure first engages the nose, poll, and jaw, encouraging a relaxed poll before the mouthpiece fully engages the tongue and bars. This unique, staged engagement allows for more subtle, humane communication, fostering relaxation and a soft, rounded outline without relying solely on direct mouth pressure.What is unique about the MB 36 mouthpiece design, and how does it provide tongue relief?The MB 36 mouthpiece features a wide, low 1/4" port that tilts forward at a 45-degree angle. This innovative design offers optimal tongue relief when your horse is relaxed, allowing the tongue to position itself comfortably beneath the port. When engaged, it applies precise, even pressure to the bars and lips, with appropriate tongue pressure due to its forward tilt. The Sweet Iron material naturally oxidizes, creating a pleasant taste that encourages salivation and greater acceptance, leading to a softer and more responsive mouth.Which types of horses are best suited for the Myler MB 36 Combination Bit?The Myler MB 36 is classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. It's ideal for horses in basic to advanced training who understand fundamental aids and are ready for more sophisticated communication, or for those needing increased tongue comfort beyond a Level 2 bit. It's particularly recommended for horses that tend to resist traditional bits, lean or pull on the reins, or struggle to maintain a soft, rounded frame and break at the poll. Its design encourages relaxation and a softer response by engaging multiple pressure points.How can I adjust the Myler MB 36 for different levels of control, and what role does the rider play?The 3-ring cheekpiece design of the Myler MB 36 provides exceptional versatility. With multiple rein attachment options (big ring, middle ring, bottom ring), riders can easily adjust the leverage and the engagement of nose, chin, and poll pressure versus direct mouthpiece pressure. This allows you to customize the bit's effect to precisely suit your horse's needs and your training goals, from providing mild encouragement to requiring more precise guidance. However, the bit's effectiveness is maximized with correct fitting and a rider with "good hands" who understands how to apply and
