In the Myler system, this functions differently from traditional leverage bits. While it incorporates short shanks that offer a mild leverage effect, its primary action is direct rein. The Myler MB 47 is a traditional correctional mouthpiece designed to apply precise pressure to the outer lip, bars, and a degree of tongue pressure when the reins are engaged. It is crafted to avoid the harsh "nutcracker" effect commonly seen with standard snaffles, focusing instead on clear communication and encouraging relaxation rather than force. It aims to gently address issues like resistance or leaning on the bit by encouraging softening and acceptance.Can you explain the Myler MB 47 mouthpiece design and what "Level 2-3" means?The Myler MB 47 is a "traditional correctional" mouthpiece within the Myler Bitting System. It features an ergonomic, curved design to prevent pinching of the lips and bars, and offers more room for the horse's tongue for comfortable swallowing. It applies pressure primarily to the outer lip, bars, and a moderate amount of tongue pressure. This design allows for more independent rein action than a Level 1 bit, offering clearer, unambiguous signals. A "Level 2-3" designation means this bit is suitable for horses that understand basic commands (Level 1) but may occasionally resist or benefit from more precise communication. It transitions a horse from basic acceptance to more advanced responsiveness and nuanced cues, encouraging self-carriage and collection while still being gentle enough to promote relaxation.How do Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay benefit my horse's comfort and acceptance?The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is engineered to naturally oxidize, creating a mild, sweet taste that horses find appealing. This encourages increased salivation, which softens the mouth and promotes a more relaxed jaw, leading to better bit acceptance. The Copper Inlay works synergistically with the sweet iron, further stimulating salivation and keeping the mouth moist and active. Together, these materials create a comfortable and inviting environment in the horse's mouth, making them more willing to accept and respond to the bit. This helps achieve a softer, more pliable mouth.How does the Myler MB 47 enhance comfort and communication through its unique design features?The Myler MB 47 is meticulously designed for optimal comfort and communication.
