This \"Gap Rule\" is essential to allow the Independent Side Movement to function properly and prevent the bit from pinching the cheeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is Sweet Iron better than standard stainless steel for the mouthpiece?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Sweet Iron is highly palatable to horses because it rusts slightly when exposed to moisture. This oxidation process creates a taste horses love, which encourages them to salivate and relax their jaw, leading to better communication and less resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-17025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250680402141,"sku":"89-17025","price":153.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_d3abf1ea-ff3f-4b1c-847b-eeda0f1f6d25.webp?v=1767057826","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-02-snaffle-5-inch-mouth-horse-bit-level-1","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
