It is the perfect choice for Western disciplines such as Reining, Trail, or Western Pleasure where refined communication and moderate leverage are required.Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for my horse?A: Myler recommends selecting a size that allows 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit to be visible on each side of the horse's mouth. Due to the ergonomic curve of the MB 36, it often fits slightly wider than a traditional straight-bar bit.Q: Does the "Black Steel" finish require special care?A: The Black Steel shanks and Sweet Iron mouthpiece are designed to oxidize, which is a natural process that creates a sweet taste for the horse. This will eventually develop an attractive antique brown patina, which is a hallmark of high-quality Western bits.Item Number/SKU: 89-13365
