This oxidation creates a harmless, sweet taste that encourages your horse to accept the bit more readily, promotes salivation, and helps them relax. The Copper Inlay further enhances salivation and can provide a comforting sensation for nervous or fidgety horses, contributing to a softer, more responsive mouth.What does "Myler Level 1" mean for my horse, and is this bit suitable for beginners?Myler's unique level system categorizes bits by their action and the amount of tongue relief they offer. This bit, featuring an MB 09 3/8 Level 1 mouthpiece, is designed to offer direct signals with the most tongue contact and less tongue relief. It's highly suitable for young or inexperienced horses, those just starting with Myler bits, or any horse requiring clear, foundational communication and encouragement to accept the bit.How does this Myler bit improve my horse's comfort and communication?This Myler bit is engineered for optimal comfort and clear communication. Its curved mouthpiece design gently wraps around the bars and lips, distributing pressure more kindly than traditional three-piece snaffles and avoiding tongue pinching. The innovative Independent Side Movement allows each side of the bit to move separately, enabling you to give more precise, nuanced cues for better shoulder control and a more direct line of communication with your horse.How will my horse respond to this bit, and what kind of action can I expect?The Level 1 Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit primarily applies tongue pressure, encouraging your horse to 'give' to the bit and soften at the poll. Many riders report that their horses become more relaxed, responsive, and less prone to grinding or playing with the bit. This leads to a notably softer and more harmonious response from the horse, enhancing overall performance and connection.Is it normal for the sweet iron mouthpiece to rust or discolor?Yes, absolutely! The natural oxidation (rusting or discoloration) of the sweet iron mouthpiece is an intentional and beneficial part of its design. This process creates the sweet taste that horses find appealing, encouraging salivation and acceptance. It is completely harmless to your horse and indicates that the bit is working as intended to promote a comfortable, responsive mouth.
