Frequently Asked Questions What is the Myler MB 43HP mouthpiece, what Myler level is it, and which horses is it for? The Myler MB 43HP, also known as the "narrow high ported barrel," is categorized as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This means it's best suited for horses with established training, those that understand basic commands, or horses that have previously shown resistance to direct tongue pressure. It's designed for equines ready for more sophisticated communication and significant tongue relief. The presence of a flat shank indicates that this is primarily a Western bit, requiring the use of a curb strap for proper function and safety. How does the Myler MB 43HP bit specifically improve my horse's comfort and communication? A key feature of the MB 43HP is its "narrow high ported barrel" which provides substantial tongue relief. The mouthpiece sits steadily across the bars and lips of the horse's mouth, rather than rotating directly onto the tongue, allowing your horse to swallow freely and encouraging relaxation. Its curved shape also helps prevent pinching of the lips and bars, distributing pressure more evenly. While offering significant tongue relief, it's worth noting that the 1 ⅞" high port could potentially apply some palate pressure, especially for horses with thicker tongues or lower palates, so monitor your horse's reaction. Why are Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay used in this bit, and how should I care for them? The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is intentionally designed to naturally oxidize, or "rust," when exposed to moisture from your horse's mouth. This process creates a sweet taste that actively encourages salivation, promoting bit acceptance and a softer, more relaxed mouth. The slight texture from the oxidation can also make it easier for the horse to hold the bit, reducing mouth fatigue. The Copper Inlay further enhances this inviting taste, boosting salivation and responsiveness. It's crucial to understand that the rusting of sweet iron is a beneficial and intentional feature, not a defect. To care for it, simply rinse the bit after each use and allow it to air dry. While some surface rust is normal and desired, you can gently wipe away excessive build-up if preferred, but avoid harsh abrasives. How does this bit facilitate precise communication and what is its action? The Myler MB 43HP utilizes an indirect (curb) rein action due to its flat shank design, meaning it will require the use of a curb strap. Many Myler bits, including this one, feature Independent Side Movement
