For the perfect fit, you should see a 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" gap between the horse’s lips and the bit’s cheekpieces on both sides; use a dowel to measure lip-to-lip width and select the closest size without sizing down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is the mouthpiece turning a darker color or showing rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is a natural and intended feature of the Sweet Iron material. As it oxidizes, it creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and helps the horse stay \"soft\" in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit considered a \"harsh\" correctional bit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, the \"correctional\" designation refers to its ability to provide clear, two-point pressure for refined communication. Because of the significant tongue relief provided by the port, many horses find the MB 41PB much more comfortable than a standard jointed bit, making it an excellent permanent finishing bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-11425\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250679484637,"sku":"89-11425","price":211.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_f3d3290e-5c33-40ae-b8ab-a35e6d58b98f.webp?v=1767057637","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-41pb-sweet-iron-ported-barrel-bit-level-2-3-7-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
