Frequently Asked Questions
What Myler Level is this bit and how does its mouthpiece work?
This bit features a Myler Level 1 MB 03 Comfort Snaffle mouthpiece. It's designed for young, green horses or those with a challenging disposition, focusing on foundational training. The mouthpiece rotates onto the tongue to apply pressure, but its unique curved design prevents pinching of the lips and bars, collapsing into a "U" shape rather than a "V" for greater comfort. It offers minimal tongue relief while incorporating Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM) for precise, isolated signals.
What is the MMB Shank designed for, and which disciplines is it best suited for?
The 5" MMB (Medium Myler Bit) shank provides mild, indirect curb leverage, applying pressure to the mouth, chin, and poll when used with a curb chain. As part of the **Lynn McKenzie Signature Series**, it is specifically designed for Western disciplines, particularly barrel racing. It aims to help horses that tend to push off, root, or lug on the bit, or those needing assistance with collection and refined maneuvers.
What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron and Copper Roller?
The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes (rusts), creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and promotes a softer, more accepting mouth in the horse. This natural process helps horses relax and become more responsive to the bit. The **copper roller** on the center barrel is incorporated to soothe restless or nervous horses and further encourage salivation, contributing to a more comfortable and focused equine partner.
How does this bit ensure my horse's comfort and improve communication?
The bit's ergonomic design, with its curved mouthpiece and barrel, aims to provide ample tongue room and distribute pressure kindly, significantly reducing discomfort. This design helps avoid the common pinching often associated with traditional bits, encouraging the horse to relax and focus on the rider's aids. By fostering a more comfortable experience, the bit promotes a responsive attitude, leading to clearer communication and a stronger partnership between horse and rider.
