Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Myler MB 02 mouthpiece suitable for my horse, especially if they are sensitive or new to Myler bits?

The Myler MB 02 mouthpiece, known as the "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel," is a Myler Level 1 bit, specifically designed for young, green, or sensitive horses, or those just starting their training to accept direct rein. Its unique curved shape disperses pressure evenly across your horse's tongue and gently wraps around the bars and lips, significantly reducing pinching. This design allows your horse to swallow more freely, promoting relaxation and acceptance of the bit from the very first ride.

How does the Independent Side Movement (ISM) improve communication with my horse?

The Independent Side Movement (ISM) technology in the Myler MB 02 is a game-changer for communication. Each side of the mouthpiece can move independently of the other due to a central barrel. This allows you to deliver more precise and clear lateral cues. Whether you're working on bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, ISM provides nuanced communication that leads to improved responsiveness and control, fostering a deeper understanding between horse and rider.

What is the purpose of the copper inlay in this bit?

The copper inlay is strategically placed to encourage salivation in your horse. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more supple mouth and jaw, leading to quicker bit acceptance and a more relaxed overall response. Horses often find the sweet taste of copper agreeable, further enhancing acceptance. This thoughtful design provides the benefits of copper while ensuring the bit's overall durability.

Tell me about the materials and design – why stainless steel and an eggbutt cheekpiece?

The combination of stainless steel and the eggbutt cheekpiece ensures both durability and comfort. Stainless steel offers exceptional longevity, corrosion resistance, and is easy to maintain, keeping your bit pristine for years. The eggbutt cheekpiece is a traditional design highly valued for preventing uncomfortable pinching at the corners of your horse's mouth. It also provides a more stable and direct signal compared to a loose ring, offering a consistent and confident connection, ideal for sensitive horses or those needing steady contact.

Is the Myler MB 02 Eggbutt Snaffle Bit legal for use in competitions?

Absolutely! The Myler MB 02 Eggbutt Snaffle Bit is widely approved and legal for use in USEF, FEI, and USEA Dressage competitions. Riders can compete with full confidence, knowing this bit meets the stringent requirements of these disciplines, making it a versatile and compliant choice for a wide range of equestrian activities.
