Frequently Asked Questions How does this Myler bit promote comfort and salivation for my horse? The Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit is designed with your horse's ultimate comfort in mind. Its curved mouthpiece and central barrel alleviate direct tongue pressure and prevent pinching, allowing your horse to swallow freely and relax. The "Twisted Comfort" aspect means the mouthpiece applies pressure by rotating onto the tongue, but it wraps around the bars and lips to avoid pinching, distributing pressure more kindly. This design, combined with the sweet iron and copper inlay, actively promotes natural salivation, encouraging your horse to "give to the bit" and break at the poll for a soft, responsive feel. What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay materials? The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is highly beneficial because it naturally oxidizes (or "rusts"), creating a sweet, pleasant taste that horses love. This process is harmless and actively encourages salivation and acceptance of the bit, leading to a more relaxed mouth. The Copper Inlay further enhances this taste appeal and salivation-promoting effect, adding a soothing element that is particularly ideal for nervous or resistant horses, encouraging them to mouth the bit and relax their jaw. What Myler Level is this bit, and what kind of training is it suitable for? This Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit is typically categorized as a Myler Level 1 mouthpiece (specifically MB 01T). This makes it an excellent choice for young or green horses, those just beginning their training journey, or any horse needing clear, direct signals and basic obedience without harshness. It’s also highly suitable for retraining problem mounts or horses that have difficulty accepting other bits, helping them develop a soft mouth and build a strong foundation. Does this bit offer Independent Side Movement™ (ISM)? Yes, a significant design advantage of this Myler bit is its Independent Side Movement™ (ISM). This innovative feature allows the rider to apply pressure to one side of the horse's mouth without directly affecting the other. This results in clearer, more precise signals for your horse, which in turn leads to improved communication, better steering, and enhanced lateral responsiveness, making your aids much more effective. What are the benefits of the Western Dee cheek design? The Western Dee cheek piece provides superior stability and a more direct signal compared to a loose ring. Its design prevents the bit from sliding through your horse's mouth, ensuring consistent pressure and clear aids. The fixed attachment of the mouthpiece to the ring also helps prevent common pinching at the corners of the mouth. Additionally, the flat sides of the Dee cheek against the horse's cheeks significantly assist the rider with clear and effective turning aids, promoting better
