It applies pressure to the nose and poll first, giving the horse a moment to respond to the cue before the bit engages the mouth. This leads to a much lighter, more willing partner who doesn't feel the need to \"brace\" against the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the Myler MB 36 suitable for both English and Western disciplines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes! This is a highly versatile crossover bit. It is a favorite among Barrel Racers and Jumpers for its \"whoa\" and agility, but it is also frequently used by Fox Hunters and Endurance riders who need variable levels of control over long distances and varying terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What level of training does my horse need for this bit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The MB 36 is classified as a Level 2-3 bit.
