Myler Toklat horse bit

The Myler Toklat bit with the patent number 6202393B1 typically has the following characteristics, according to sources like Toklat and various retailers: Mouthpiece Design: It features a curved mouthpiece with a small port (MB 04, generally 1/4 inch high) that offers some tongue relief, allowing the horse to swallow and relax. Independent Side Movement: The mouthpiece design, including a central barrel, allows each side of the bit to move independently, providing clearer, more isolated signals to the horse. Material: The mouthpiece is typically made of sweet iron with copper inlay to encourage salivation and keep the horse's mouth soft. The cheeks are generally stainless steel. Cheekpiece Style: This patent number is often seen on bits with Dee-ring or Eggbutt cheekpieces, sometimes with hooks. The hooks help stabilize the bit in the horse's mouth and can apply light poll pressure when the reins are engaged. Action: It is a direct action bit, primarily applying pressure to the lips and bars, with varying levels of tongue pressure depending on the specific mouthpiece (MB level) and rein pressure.
