Its correctional ported barrel and curved mouthpiece create ample space for the horse's tongue, preventing pinching and allowing them to swallow freely. The sweet iron composition encourages salivation, further promoting acceptance and relaxation in the horse's mouth.Which type of horse is this bit best suited for within the Myler Bitting System?This bit is categorized as a Myler Level 2-3. It's ideal for horses that have a basic foundation of training and are progressing in their discipline, or for more "finished" horses that demonstrate good self-control and a steady disposition. It primarily applies pressure to the bars, poll, and curb chain, with a mild reinforcing pressure on the tongue, making it an effective correctional mouthpiece.What does "correctional" mean, and can this bit lead to resistance if used improperly?The "correctional" aspect of the MB 41PB refers to its design that applies two points of pressure on the tongue when the reins are engaged, intended to improve control and communication. While effective for teaching respect for the bit, improper or prolonged use—especially with horses already exhibiting resistance due to discomfort—can inadvertently lead to further resistance. The ideal goal is often to transition to a bit with less tongue pressure as your horse advances and becomes more responsive.What are the specific material and design advantages of the Myler MB 41PB?The Myler MB 41PB boasts several design advantages. Its sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes, creating a pleasant, sweet taste that encourages salivation and acceptance, which is entirely harmless to horses. Additionally, like many Myler designs, this bit often features Independent Side Movement (ISM). This allows the rider to apply isolated pressure on one side of the bit, facilitating clearer signals for turning, balancing, and collection without impacting the other side of the horse's mouth.
