Hello @benmontanez8997! As with most topics in the equestrian world, "best" is subjective and may be different depending on your horse's needs. We suggest working with a trainer to determine what Myler bit will be best for your horse and if they need more "lift" or "whoa" around the barrels. Please let us know if you have any further questions! ~Katie, RW
Hello Karen, thanks for your question! Myler bits feature lines on both ends of the bit bars. The lines are copper inlay which works to encourage the horse to salivate and accept the bit. All Myler bits should have those copper inlay lines and do not represent the level of bit you have. Please let us know if you have any further questions! ~Katie, RW
@@catherinebelanger94 The main way to distinguish Myler bit levels is to look at the mouthpiece. Level 1 mouthpieces are relatively flat with mild curvature to accommodate the horse's mouth. From there, the mouthpieces become more ported to offer tongue relief, with Level 3 offering the most tongue relief. Please let us know if you have any further questions! ~Katie, RW

Are the lines on the side of the bit there to indicate the level the bit is? Mine has 3 lines so I thought that may mean it’s a level 3? Thanks

Riding Warehouse is there anything on the bit that would help indicate the level that it is?
