Frequently Asked Questions

What Myler Level is the MB 36 Dee Snaffle, and is it right for my horse?

The Myler MB 36 mouthpiece is classified as a Level 2/3 bit. This indicates it offers a significant step up in tongue relief compared to Level 2 bits. It's generally well-suited for horses with basic training that are progressing in a discipline, or for trained and compliant horses that may exhibit reluctance to break at the poll or achieve a rounded frame. If your horse shows resistance or discomfort with a lower-level bit, the MB 36 might provide the necessary tongue relief to encourage better acceptance.

How does the MB 36 mouthpiece ensure my horse's comfort and promote acceptance?

The MB 36 is engineered for exceptional comfort. It features a wide, low 1/4" port that is uniquely tilted forward at a 45-degree angle. This innovative design allows the horse's tongue to comfortably position the bit, offering generous tongue relief when the reins are relaxed. When engaged, it applies mild, even pressure to the bars and lips, critically avoiding palate pressure. Furthermore, the mouthpiece often incorporates a sweet iron with copper inlay, which oxidizes to encourage salivation, promoting a softer, more accepting mouth. Its curved design also helps prevent pinching of the lips and bars.

How does the MB 36 improve communication and control between horse and rider?

This bit significantly enhances communication through its patented Independent Side Movement (ISM). This Myler-exclusive feature allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving the rider the ability to isolate one side for more precise bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder. This results in clearer, more nuanced lateral cues. The Dee ring cheekpiece further contributes to communication by offering excellent stability, keeping the mouthpiece quiet in the horse's mouth and preventing pinching at the corners of the lips. The fixed cheek of the Dee ring also provides a gentle lateral guiding effect, which aids in steering and encourages neater turns, especially beneficial for timid or green horses.

Can this bit help address specific training challenges and enhance my horse's performance?

Absolutely. The Myler MB 36 is particularly effective for trained horses that are reluctant to break at the poll or come into a rounded, collected frame. Its design aims to significantly reduce common forms of resistance, such as head tossing, rooting, or tongue resistance, by encouraging profound relaxation and acceptance of the bit. Riders often report improved responsiveness, the ability to ride with softer hands, better bending, and a reduction in bracing, ultimately leading to a more willing and harmonious performance from their horse.

Is the Myler MB 36 Dee Snaffle legal for competitive riding?

Yes, for competitive riders, the Myler MB 36 Dee Snaffle is specifically designed and approved to meet competition standards. It is fully USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) and FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) dressage legal, making it a reliable choice for your show ring endeavors.
