Frequently Asked Questions

What is a combination bit and how does it work?

A combination bit, like the Myler MB 04, integrates elements of a traditional bit with a noseband and poll pressure. It works by distributing pressure across three points: the horse's mouth, nose, and poll. This design typically offers more control with less direct pressure on the mouth, encouraging relaxation and responsiveness, especially beneficial for horses that are sensitive or prone to leaning.

What is the benefit of the Sweet Iron mouthpiece?

Sweet Iron is a highly favored material for bit mouthpieces because it naturally oxidizes or "rusts," producing a sweet taste that encourages salivation. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more relaxed jaw and mouth, helping the horse accept the bit more readily and enhancing communication between rider and horse.

What does the MB 04 mouthpiece (Low Port Comfort Snaffle) mean for my horse?

The Myler MB 04 mouthpiece is a "Low Port Comfort Snaffle." This design features a very low, rounded port that offers mild tongue relief without interfering with the palate. It's designed to collapse on the bars of the mouth and rotate over the tongue, allowing for effective communication while minimizing direct tongue pressure. It encourages a relaxed jaw and acceptance of the bit, making it a comfortable choice for many horses.

Is this bit suitable for all riding disciplines?

Yes, the Myler MB 04 Combination Bit is highly versatile. Its balanced design, offering both comfort and effective control, makes it suitable for a wide range of riding disciplines including Western pleasure, trail riding, English riding, and general schooling. The 3-ring design also allows for adjustments in leverage to adapt to different needs.

How do I size a Myler Combination Bit?

The mouthpiece of the Myler Combination Bit should be sized like a standard snaffle bit, fitting snugly but comfortably without pinching. Ensure the noseband fits appropriately – snug enough to provide gentle pressure but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause discomfort. For the curb strap, ensure it allows for two fingers to fit between the strap and the chin groove, providing a soft release.
