This extra width ensures the bit protrudes 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" on each side of the horse's mouth, allowing the curved bars to wrap comfortably around the lips without pinching or causing discomfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Myler MB 04 suitable for a horse that is \"heavy\" or resists the contact?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. Many horses resist because of excessive tongue pressure; the MB 04’s 1\/4\" port provides the relief they need to relax. Combined with Independent Side Movement, it allows you to give clearer, one-sided cues that discourage leaning and promote a softer, more balanced frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-11044\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250676502749,"sku":"89-11044","price":191.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_8c45890f-93a9-4bfc-9c7e-a24870594af3.webp?v=1767056837","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-04-comfort-snaffle-bit-4-3-4-inch-mouth-7-inch-flat-shank","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
