Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler Pony Dee Snaffle ensure comfort and tongue relief for my pony?

The Myler Pony Dee Snaffle is expertly designed with a curved mouthpiece, often featuring a gentle low port. This thoughtful construction provides significant tongue relief, preventing painful pressure points and allowing your pony to swallow freely and relax their jaw. Additionally, the inclusion of a copper inlay further encourages natural salivation, promoting a softer and more accepting mouth, especially beneficial for young or sensitive equines.

How does this bit enhance communication and control during training?

The fixed Dee ring cheekpiece of this snaffle provides excellent stability in your pony's mouth, preventing the bit from being pulled through. This design offers direct turning aids and clearer directional cues, making your communication more precise. Many Myler Dee snaffles also incorporate Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing you to apply pressure to one side of the bit for targeted cues like bending or lifting a shoulder, without affecting the opposite side, leading to highly refined control.

Is the Myler Pony Dee Snaffle suitable for young or green horses, and what training level does it represent?

Absolutely, this bit is ideally suited for young or inexperienced horses and ponies. The Myler Pony Dee Snaffle is typically a Level 1 Myler bit, specifically designed for equines beginning their training journey, learning basic gaits, transitions, and fundamental obedience. Its purpose is to gently help young horses understand bit pressure and interpret rein aids, with the core principle of releasing pressure the moment the horse responds correctly, fostering a positive learning experience.

What should I consider regarding sizing and fit for my pony?

Ensuring the correct size and fit is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Myler bits can sometimes run slightly larger than other brands, so we recommend carefully measuring your pony's mouth from lip corner to lip corner. Common sizes for ponies often fall around 4.5 inches. While the Dee rings are designed for stability, their primary function is optimal communication and stability, even on very small pony faces.

How does this bit help address resistance or improve bit acceptance in ponies?

If your pony struggles with bit acceptance, shows an "overactive mouth," or resists the bit, the Myler Pony Dee Snaffle is designed to help. Its focus on comfort and tongue relief aims to alleviate common issues like mouth gaping, tongue over the bit, or head throwing. By offering a gentler and more anatomically friendly alternative to traditional single-jointed snaffles, it encourages your pony to relax, accept the bit more readily, and become a more willing and responsive partner.
