You should follow the \"1\/4-inch rule,\" leaving approximately 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the bit bar visible on each side of the horse's mouth to allow the mouthpiece to rotate and collapse freely without pinching the lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is the HBT shank recommended for trail and endurance riding?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The HBT (Half-Breed Tom Thumb) shank is a 5-inch, swept-back design that provides effective leverage for stopping and collection while being \"grazing-friendly.\" Its shorter, curved profile allows your horse to eat and drink more easily during long rides compared to traditional long, straight shanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the Sweet Iron mouthpiece require special maintenance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The \"rust\" or oxidation on Sweet Iron is intentional and creates the sweet taste horses love. To maintain it, simply rinse the bit after each ride and wipe it dry; an occasional light coating of vegetable oil can be applied if the bit will be stored for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-11485\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250680271069,"sku":"89-11485","price":223.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_8424e576-5c93-4910-9466-60b8294b1d56.webp?v=1767057818","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb-47pb-sweet-iron-correctional-ported-barrel-bit-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
