The MB16 mouth piece is anatomically shaped to the horse's mouth and is similar to the MB33 in shape and degree of tongue freedom. The MB16 is a fixed mouthpiece and therefore without Independent Side Movement.
This bit is suitable for the discipline :
TheFlat Shank bit is a bar bit with 7" flat bars that curve slightly backwards towards the horse. The ring at the top of the cheek piece of the snaffle has a flat top, allowing the bit and snaffle to work harmoniously together. To prevent the bars from irritating or cutting the horse's cheeks, the bars have a slight angle - make sure you get the bars and bit turned the right way around when applying the bar bit. The curb bit must be used with a curb strap or curb chain, otherwise it has no effect. The curb strap or curb chain is placed in the same ring as the bridle. With a curb bit with a curb strap or curb chain, there will be long pressure in the horse's mouth, under the chin and in the neck - this allows for fine and calm communication between horse and rider.
Thehorse at Level 3 :
-
The horse is far along in its training or fully trained - it is cooperative and obedient.
-
The horse is relaxed on the bit and understands signals from the bit.
-
The horse masters difficult exercises.
-
The horse reacts well and understands the signals from the seat, legs and rein.
Independent Side Movement
Some of the Myler bits are equipped with so-called "Independent Side Movement". As the name suggests, this allows the rider to move each side of the bit independently of each other. This means that when the rider pulls on one rein, the horse gets a very clear signal as only one side moves. This provides effective shoulder control and bending of the horse.
