You should see about 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch of the mouthpiece on each side of the lips. If your horse is between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure the ergonomic curve doesn't pinch the cheeks.Q: Is this bit suitable for a green horse?No, the Myler MBB Black Flat Shank with MB 27HP is a Level 2-3 finishing bit intended for horses that have already established basic training. Because it utilizes palate pressure for refinement, it is not recommended for green horses or novice riders.Q: What is the purpose of the 'cricket' in the port?The cricket is a copper roller that makes a subtle sound and gives the horse something to manipulate with their tongue. This helps keep the horse's mouth soft and provides a calming effect for horses that tend to get tense or distracted during work.Item Number/SKU: 89-64225
