Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Myler MB 43LP mouthpiece work in my horse's mouth, and what level of pressure does it apply?The Myler MB 43LP is a Level 2-3 mouthpiece, designed for horses with a basic education that are developing beyond a basic snaffle. Its 1.25-inch high port sits solidly across the bars and lips of the mouth, providing significant tongue relief by avoiding direct pressure on the tongue's center and minimizing palate pressure. When the reins are engaged, it applies a slight, gentle pressure on the outside edges of the tongue, acting as a reminder rather than a strong reprimand, encouraging relaxation and acceptance.What is "Sweet Iron" and how does it benefit my horse?Sweet Iron is a unique material that naturally oxidizes (or "rusts") when exposed to air and moisture. This process is harmless and releases a pleasant, sweet taste in your horse's mouth. This taste actively encourages salivation, promoting a softer, more relaxed jaw and a more responsive mouth. While the intentional rusting may alter its appearance over time, it signifies its active, beneficial function.What is Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it improve communication with my horse?The Myler MB 43LP incorporates Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM). This innovative design allows each side of the bit to move independently when a single rein is engaged. This provides clear, isolated signals to your horse, which is highly beneficial for enhancing lateral flexion, improving bending, aiding in balance, and effectively lifting a horse's shoulder without confusing signals, leading to much clearer and more nuanced communication.Is this bit suitable for my horse or riding discipline?Categorized as a Level 2-3 bit, the MB 43LP is suitable for horses with intermediate to advanced training, or those that might show resistance to Level 2 mouthpieces but aren't quite ready for a Level 3. It is highly versatile and recommended for a wide range of disciplines, including Western riding (trail, barrel racing) and English disciplines (cross-country, jumping, endurance), where precise control with valuable tongue relief is essential.What kind of shank does this bit have, and what does that mean for leverage and control?This Myler MB 43LP bit features a 7-inch stainless steel flat shank, which provides indirect rein action and moderate leverage. It is designed to be used in conjunction with a curb strap, which is crucial for stabilizing the bit and defining the amount of leverage and poll pressure. This design ensures aids are transmitted clearly and effectively, offering effective control without being overly harsh, ideal for horses responding well to clear, indirect signals.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-11434Invest in the Myler MB 43LP Bit today and experience the remarkable difference a truly comfortable and well-designed bit can make in your horse's performance, willingness, and overall well-being.
