Myler Weymouth Wide Ported Barrel Bit MB 16PB

The MB 16PB is a Myler mouthpiece classification featuring a wide, moderately high port. It is specifically designed to provide significant tongue relief and reduce palate pressure, making it an excellent choice for horses that are sensitive in the mouth or prone to tongue evasion.

This bit is rated as a Level 2-3, meaning it is best suited for horses that have a solid foundation and are ready for more refined communication. It is generally too advanced for a horse just beginning its training, as it requires a more established connection.

The independent side movement allows you to move one side of the bit without affecting the other. This enables you to give precise, subtle aids to your horse, helping to clarify your requests and prevent the 'nutcracker' effect that can cause discomfort.

The copper inlays are designed to encourage salivation. A horse that is salivating is generally more relaxed and accepting of the bit, which leads to a softer, more responsive feel in your hands.

The 5.5-inch width is a common size for many horses, but it is critical to measure your horse's mouth accurately before purchasing. A bit that is too wide or too narrow can cause significant discomfort and interfere with the effectiveness of the port design.
