It is an exceptional tool for training, jumping, eventing, and trail riding where indirect rein action is allowed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this bit help a pony that tends to lean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Independent Side Movement allows you to wiggle or lift one side of the bit independently. This breaks the \"bar\" of a traditional bit, making it much harder for the pony to take hold and lean, ultimately encouraging a lighter, more responsive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22044\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844331622621,"sku":"89-22044","price":175.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_d6b25d1b-8446-4b4b-ab60-120a228628d0.webp?v=1767105000","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-english-pony-dee-with-hooks-with-low-port-comfort-snaffle%e2%84%a2-mb-04-4-3-4","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
