This intentional \"overhang\" ensures the Independent Side Movement functions correctly without pinching the horse's lips, providing a more comfortable and effective fit than traditional flush-fitting bits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the MB 36 suitable for a horse that is \"strong\" or resistant to the hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. Resistance is often a reaction to excessive tongue pressure or palate contact. By utilizing the MB 36’s Level 2-3 tongue relief, many \"strong\" horses find they can finally relax their jaw, leading to improved responsiveness and softness without the need for harsh leverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-43365\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250708910301,"sku":"89-43365","price":165.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_20ccf3e7-990e-45df-869f-1ad9ddf99180.webp?v=1767070145","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-36-dee-snaffle-horse-bit-5-inch-mouth-level-2-3","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
