For a proper fit, you should see 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the bit on each side of the horse's lips to account for the ergonomic curve and prevent the rings from sitting flush against the face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is fussy in the mouth or prone to pinching?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. The MB 02 is a Level 1 bit specifically designed to reduce mouth friction. The wide barrel and curved bars distribute pressure evenly while the Independent Side Movement prevents the mouthpiece from collapsing, making it the ideal choice for horses with sensitive mouths or those who struggle with traditional jointed snaffles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-21025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250688856285,"sku":"89-21025","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_bb76d2c7-2b0a-43ec-86b4-b7cc48bf5d9a.webp?v=1767059422","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-02-dee-snaffle-bit-5-inch-mouth-stainless-steel-copper-inlay","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
