The Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit - Sweet Iron, Copper Inlay - MB 11 is the choice for riders who prioritize gentle communication and a happy, willing equine partner.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow do Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay enhance my horse's comfort and acceptance of the bit?The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to produce a taste horses enjoy, encouraging salivation and a relaxed mouth. This helps alleviate issues like a "dry" or "busy" mouth. The copper inlay further enhances this effect, promoting a moist mouth and improved acceptance of the bit, making it more comfortable for your horse.What makes the MB 11 mouthpiece gentle, and is it suitable for sensitive horses?The MB 11, often referred to as a Comfort Snaffle (Level 1), features a curved mouthpiece and a free-rotating barrel. This design is less harsh than traditional snaffles as it avoids pinching the horse's tongue and distributes pressure more evenly, providing clearer signals. It is highly suitable for young or green horses, or those particularly sensitive to tongue pressure, promoting a softer response.How does the Myler Western Dee design improve communication and stability?Many Myler snaffles, including this Western Dee, allow for Independent Side Movement (ISM). This enables the rider to isolate one side of the bit for more precise cues, aiding in bending, balancing, and lifting a horse's shoulder without affecting the other side. The Western Dee cheek piece itself provides excellent stability and helps prevent pinching at the corners of the horse's mouth, enhancing comfort and clarity of aids.For which training levels is the Myler MB 11 bit most appropriate?The Myler MB 11 is classified as a Myler Level 1 bit, making it ideal for horses just beginning their training, learning basic commands, or those that respond well to direct tongue pressure. It's designed for horses that need gentle guidance and are learning to accept the bit. As your horse progresses in training and becomes more advanced, you might consider higher level Myler bits.I've noticed my sweet iron bit oxidizing. Is this normal, and how does it affect durability?Yes, the natural oxidation (often appearing as "rusting") of the sweet iron mouthpiece is completely normal and indeed a desired feature. This process is harmless to horses and is essential for creating the sweet taste and encouraging salivation. This natural oxidation does not negatively impact the bit's durability; Myler bits are constructed with high-quality materials for long-lasting use.
