It's designed to minimize direct tongue pressure, working primarily off the horse's lips, bars, chin, and poll. This design is best suited for "finished," well-trained horses with a trustworthy disposition who respond to subtle aids, classifying it as a Myler Level 3 bit.What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it improve communication?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a core feature of Myler bits, including the MB 33. The central barrel acts as a bushing, allowing each side of the bit to move independently. This enables riders to deliver precise, isolated signals for lateral flexion, bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder, which helps prevent confusing your horse with generalized pressure.How does the ported barrel design specifically promote horse comfort?The MB 33 features a 1 ½" low, medium-wide ported barrel and a gently curved mouthpiece. This thoughtful design provides ample space for the horse's tongue to comfortably pass under the bit. It minimizes interference with the palate, avoids pinching, and facilitates swallowing, contributing to a more relaxed and comfortable equine partner.What kind of control and versatility does a Pelham bit offer?As a Pelham bit, this tack combines the actions of both a snaffle and a curb, providing a versatile level of leverage. It can be particularly beneficial for horses requiring more control, especially in disciplines like jumping or for stronger mounts. Riders can choose to use either double reins for separate snaffle and curb actions or a bit converter for a single-rein setup, depending on their desired level of leverage and riding style.What materials are used in the bit and how do they encourage acceptance?This Myler Pelham bit typically features durable stainless steel cheeks for longevity. The mouthpiece often incorporates sweet iron, which oxidizes to create a palatable taste that encourages salivation in the horse's mouth. Additionally, a copper inlay further promotes salivation, enhancing bit acceptance and overall comfort for the horse.
