This extra clearance ensures the curved ends do not pinch the horse's lips against their teeth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit appropriate for a horse just starting its Western training?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, this is a Myler Level 1 bit, specifically designed for horses at the beginning of their education. It focuses on establishing a foundation of trust by offering tongue relief and clear, simple signals that encourage the horse to relax into the contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What are the benefits of the Sweet Iron material over stainless steel?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Unlike stainless steel, Sweet Iron is designed to rust or oxidize. This process creates a flavor horses love, which promotes a \"wet\" mouth and better focus, making it much more effective for horses that are dry or fussy in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-18025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250681057501,"sku":"89-18025","price":151.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_28ccfcb2-89f8-4400-a2b0-24c395958a54.webp?v=1767057915","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-western-dee-snaffle-bit-mb-02-sweet-iron-comfort-barrel","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
