You should see 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the bit on each side of the horse's mouth; if your horse measures exactly 5\", many riders find a 5 ¼\" provides the most comfortable fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Cathedral Port too harsh for my horse?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The MB 29 is a precision tool, not a harsh one. While the 1 ½\" port reaches the sensitive palate when the reins are engaged, it offers more tongue relief than almost any other bit in a neutral position, making it ideal for horses that resist tongue pressure but respond well to light, sophisticated signals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or showing rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is a feature of the Sweet Iron material. The oxidation (rust) creates a sweet taste that horses love, encouraging them to salivate and \"play\" with the bit, which leads to a softer, more responsive mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-11295\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250678173917,"sku":"89-11295","price":211.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_01c1aa49-5900-424c-8610-050c2d152208.webp?v=1767057299","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-29-cathedral-port-horse-bit-sweet-iron-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
