What Myler Level is it?The MB 41PBW mouthpiece is a marvel of design, offering a unique balance classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. It features a tiered port with a generously wide, rounded base that offers significant tongue comfort, similar to a Level 3. However, when the reins are engaged, the narrower, more pronounced corners at the top of the port apply two focused points of pressure on the tongue. This ingenious combination ensures both comfort for your horse and precise, refined communication for the rider.Is this a purely correctional bit, or can it be used long-term?While the MB 41PBW is indeed considered a "correctional" mouthpiece due to its ability to guide head carriage and poll flexion, its unique design also allows for surprising versatility. Unlike many temporary correctional tools, the generous tongue relief it provides means that many riders find it suitable for long-term use. For some horses, it can even become a "finishing bit," offering consistent communication and comfort for an extended period.What is "Independent Side Movement" and how does it benefit my riding?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a critical feature of the Myler MBL Short Shank bit. It means that each side of the mouthpiece can move independently from the other. This allows you, the rider, to give clear, isolated signals to your horse. For instance, you can cue for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder without affecting the opposite side. This precision enhances responsiveness and minimizes the mixed signals that can occur with traditional jointed bits, leading to a much clearer dialogue between horse and rider.How does the short shank design contribute to comfort and communication?The MBL short shank design provides an indirect (curb) rein action, offering precise control without excessive leverage. Crafted from durable stainless steel, it features a slight curve backward and an angled purchase, specifically engineered to prevent rubbing on your horse's sensitive cheeks. Furthermore, the mouthpiece attaches loosely to the cheek, allowing a small degree of slide. This subtle movement further contributes to tongue relief and overall comfort, making the bit more agreeable for your horse and enhancing their willingness to accept and respond to your aids.
