For the best performance, you should see 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the bit visible on each side of the mouth; this gap ensures the Independent Side Movement functions correctly without pinching the lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the 14mm thickness suitable for horses with smaller mouths?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, the 14mm diameter is a standard dressage thickness that is often preferred for horses with less room in their mouths or \"fleshy\" tongues. It provides clear, precise signals while the forward-tilted port ensures the horse doesn't feel crowded or restricted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-28386\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250698784989,"sku":"89-28386","price":66.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_04010c5d-54d2-4f09-bc99-652dbe812993.webp?v=1767068403","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-mb36-loose-ring-snaffle-bit-dressage-legal-5-1-4-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
