The 02 mouthpiece reduces direct tongue pressure, encouraging the horse to relax and yield softly to the bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the benefit of using the \"Hooks\" on this full cheek bit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The hooks provide incredible versatility for training. By attaching your bridle to the top hooks and reins to the bottom hooks, you stabilize the bit in the horse's mouth and can apply a mild indirect action. This setup optimizes the Independent Side Movement and provides just enough poll pressure to encourage a correct headset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-24024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"4 3\/4\"","offer_id":46844406923485,"sku":"89-24024","price":175.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5\"","offer_id":46844406890717,"sku":"89-24025","price":175.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_08beccc0-6631-45a0-8435-23c3beebd499.webp?v=1767081842","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-5-02-stainless-steel-full-cheek-with-hook-89-24025","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
