Key Features & Benefits: Frequently Asked Questions How does this bit provide enhanced comfort and tongue relief for my horse? The Myler Western Dee Snaffle features a Sweet Iron mouthpiece which naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant, sweet taste, encouraging salivation and a softer mouth. Additionally, its Low Port barrel (MB 04 mouthpiece) significantly reduces direct pressure on the horse's tongue and palate. This design allows your horse to swallow freely and encourages overall relaxation, crucial for comfort and acceptance of the bit. What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does the Western Dee cheekpiece enhance communication and control? Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a core Myler feature, allowing each side of the bit to move separately. This delivers highly precise, isolated lateral aids, improving shoulder control and bending without the common "nutcracker" effect. The Western Dee cheekpiece is a fixed-cheek design that provides immediate and stable rein signals, preventing the bit from sliding and offering consistent lateral control, promoting clearer communication. Which training level is this Myler bit (MB 04 mouthpiece) suitable for? This Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit, featuring the MB 04 mouthpiece, is classified as a Myler Level 2 bit. It’s ideal for horses that are established in basic training, green horses, or those transitioning from a Myler Level 1 mouthpiece. It introduces mild tongue relief while still applying some tongue pressure, making it an excellent choice for developing responsiveness and a deeper partnership. How do I ensure the correct fit and sizing for this 5" Myler bit? For optimal comfort and effectiveness, Myler recommends that the bit mouth piece extends 1/8" to 1/4" beyond each side of your horse's mouth. While this bit is listed as 5 inches, Myler bits are designed with a unique curve to accommodate the horse's anatomy. Always measure your horse's mouth precisely, and if in doubt, consult a bitting specialist. Can this bit help address common resistance or mouth issues in horses? Yes, the Myler Western Dee Snaffle is specifically designed to minimize resistance. Its combination of a salivation-promoting Sweet Iron mouthpiece and effective Low Port tongue relief encourages a more relaxed jaw and poll. This design can significantly reduce common behaviors like head tossing, mouth gaping, or tongue evasion, leading to a softer, more attentive, and willing horse.
