You should look for 1\/8\" to 1\/4\" of the bit bar showing on each side of the horse's mouth to allow the curved mouthpiece to wrap comfortably around the bars without pinching.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why is my bit changing color or showing signs of rust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is a desired feature of the Sweet Iron material. The oxidation (rusting) process creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and leads to a softer, more responsive mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for a green horse just starting under saddle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is a Level 2 bit, meaning it is best suited for horses with a foundational understanding of bit pressure. It is the ideal choice for horses transitioning out of a basic Level 1 snaffle who are ready for more tongue freedom and refined cues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-18315\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250681417949,"sku":"89-18315","price":173.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_4665d357-2b9c-472e-a8d8-cf13078586c8.webp?v=1767058099","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-western-dee-snaffle-bit-mb-32-3-mullen-barrel-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
