Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Myler English Dee Snaffle Bit suitable for all horses?

This Myler MB 06 mouthpiece is specifically designed for Level 2-3 horses. These are horses that have a solid understanding of basic aids and are ready for more refined communication, but may still benefit from a bit that distributes pressure comfortably across the tongue. It's an excellent choice for horses that are generally accepting of a bit but need a gentle invitation to relax and soften.

Is this bit dressage legal?

Yes, absolutely! The Myler English Dee Snaffle Bit with the MB 06 mouthpiece is fully approved for both USEF (United States Equestrian Federation, effective 1/2012) and FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale, effective 7/2016) dressage competitions. This makes it an ideal and compliant choice for riders competing at various levels, from local shows to international arenas.

What are the benefits of the copper inlay in the mouthpiece?

The copper inlay is a key feature designed to enhance your horse's comfort and acceptance of the bit. Copper naturally encourages salivation, which promotes a softer, more supple mouth. Increased salivation helps your horse to accept the bit more readily and can lead to improved relaxation and responsiveness during your ride, fostering better communication.

What is the Mullen Barrel Low Port (MB 06) mouthpiece designed for?

The MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port mouthpiece offers a very gentle pressure distribution, primarily across the tongue, with minimal palate interference. It's engineered to encourage your horse to swallow and relax their jaw, promoting a more consistent and comfortable contact. This design is ideal for horses transitioning from basic training to more advanced work, seeking a polite and clear form of communication.

What does "Level 2-3" mean for a Myler bit?

Myler's "Levels" describe the tongue relief offered by the mouthpiece. Level 2-3 bits offer some tongue relief, allowing the horse to swallow more easily and relax. They are designed for horses that understand basic aids and are progressing in their training, encouraging a more forward and relaxed response compared to a Level 1 bit, while still being milder than a Level 3. This level promotes a confident and comfortable partnership.
