Care instructions:

Before use: 

For bits whose mouthpiece and/or cheek piece are made of sweet iron or black iron,
it is very important to oil the hinges, the transitions from mouthpiece to cheek piece, before use. 
This prevents any moisture from getting in. 

After use: 

After use the bit should be cleaned thoroughly. 
Your horse will be happy to have a clean bit, without leftovers from the day before, put into its mouth the next day. 
A damp bit should not be oiled, otherwise the moisture is sealed in by the oil. 

 

Mode of action:

Myler mouthpieces correspond in construction and design to the Myler level, which in turn reflects the behaviour and experience of the horse. The different mouthpieces are available from level 1. These act most strongly on the tongue. Level 3 mouthpieces act least on the tongue and offer the most tongue relief. Most horses can skip level 1 and it is entirely possible that your horse starts its training with the Myler system at level 2, 2-3 or even 3.

• Rotates onto the tongue to act there.

• Folds, forming a "U" (not a "V"), and so protects the lips and bars from pinching.

• Is curved and thus creates more room for the tongue and protects the lips and bars from pinching.

• ISM* on most mouthpieces. (independent side movement)

 

Eignung:

• Young and inexperienced, untrained, with a challenging temperament.

• In the chosen discipline only single-jointed mouthpieces are permitted.
