We recommend checking your specific organization's current rulebook for competition legality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do I ensure the 4 1\/4\" size provides the correct Myler fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Because of the ergonomic curve, Myler bits should fit snugly. You are looking for approximately 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of clearance on either side of the lips; this ensures the port stays centered and the Independent Side Movement functions correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will the hooks make this bit too harsh for a child's pony?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not at all. The hooks simply provide clearer communication and stability. When the reins are attached to the hooks, it gives a youth rider more \"brakes\" and control without the need for a high-leverage curb bit, making it a favorite for schooling and trail riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22362\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"4 1\/4\"","offer_id":46844397387997,"sku":"89-22362","price":185.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 1\/2\"","offer_id":46844397420765,"sku":"89-22363","price":185.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_81b5f2f3-981e-4231-8978-3e2e0de62a67.webp?v=1767105004","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-english-pony-dee-with-hooks-with-stainless-steel-forward-tilt-ported-barrel","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
