You should see approximately 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's mouth to allow the curved bars to wrap comfortably without the cheekpieces rubbing the lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the \"rusting\" on the mouthpiece a defect?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not at all! The Sweet Iron is designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture. This process creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, promoting a moist, soft mouth and a more relaxed attitude during your ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit appropriate for a \"green\" horse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The MB 04 is a Level 2 bit, making it ideal for horses that have completed basic training and are ready to move away from a steady tongue pressure toward more refined cues and tongue relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-16045\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46559643533533,"sku":"89-16045","price":199.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_197dd742-8e37-41fe-a3e2-129dfad22ad6.webp?v=1767081611","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-black-steel-western-dee-low-port-comfort-snaffle-mb-04-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
