It is, however, an excellent choice for show jumping, cross-country, and general schooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I know if the 5\" size will fit my horse correctly?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Myler bits are designed to be wider than traditional bits. You should look for 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the mouthpiece to be visible on each side of the horse's mouth; if the bit fits flush against the lips, it is likely too small for the Myler design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the twisted design too severe for a green horse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: As a Level 1 bit, it is designed for horses beginning their training. While the twist offers a clearer signal for horses that are \"strong\" or dull, the curved mouthpiece ensures the pressure is distributed more humanely than a standard single-jointed snaffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22075\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841103548637,"sku":"89-22075","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/upscaled-1774907444401.webp?v=1774907444","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-09-english-dee-with-hooks-with-twist-5-inch-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
