Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 04 achieve superior communication and comfort?

The Myler MB 04 features a patented combination system that disperses rein pressure across five distinct points: your horse's nose, chin, poll, and mouth. The nose, chin, and poll engage first, offering an initial gentle signal. The mouthpiece itself has a 1-inch slide, providing your horse an opportunity to respond to these lighter cues before the mouthpiece fully engages and applies pressure to the tongue and bars. This progressive application encourages a softer, more responsive connection and greater comfort.

What makes the MB 04 mouthpiece so comfortable for my horse?

The MB 04 mouthpiece is a Level 2 Myler bit, specifically designed for comfort. It features a slight 1/4-inch low port, which provides crucial tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and move its tongue comfortably without restriction. Made from sweet iron, the mouthpiece naturally oxidizes, encouraging salivation for a softer mouth. Its curved design is engineered to wrap comfortably around the bars and lips, actively preventing pinching.

Is this bit versatile, and what is Independent Side Movement (ISM)?

Absolutely. The Myler MB 04 is highly versatile, featuring a 3-ring cheekpiece that offers multiple rein positions. This allows you to adjust the degree of leverage and choose between direct or indirect action, tailoring the bit's effect to your horse's needs and your training goals. Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key feature that allows each side of the bit to move independently. This provides clearer, more precise lateral cues, aiding in bending, steering, and overall responsiveness.

Which types of horses benefit most from the Myler MB 04 Combination Bit?

The Myler MB 04 Combination Bit is particularly beneficial for a diverse range of horses. Its dispersed pressure system and tongue-relief design make it an excellent choice for sensitive horses, green horses, or those prone to anxiety. It's also highly recommended for horses needing re-schooling or transitioning between bits, as it helps to reduce anxiety while providing effective control, aiding in clearer communication and a more relaxed equine partner.

Is the Myler MB 04 legal for competition, and how do I choose the right size?

Legality in competition can vary significantly by discipline and governing body (e.g., dressage, hunter, jumper, eventing). We always recommend checking the specific rulebook for your chosen discipline and organization before competing with any bit. For sizing, proper fit is crucial for effective communication and comfort. Generally, the bit should fit snugly, allowing about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space on either side of your horse's mouth. If you are unsure, consulting with an experienced equine professional or bit fitter is always recommended.
