This popular feature naturally stimulates salivation, which relaxes the horse's jaw and promotes a softer, more accepting mouth. Experience a more responsive and willing equine partner with this thoughtful design element.
• Versatile Training Tool (Myler Level 2-3 Classification): This Myler bit, featuring the MB 43LP mouthpiece, is classified as a Level 2-3. It's ideal for horses that have progressed beyond initial green training but still benefit from moderate leverage and clear signals for turning and flexion. A versatile choice, it supports refinement across various disciplines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Myler Level is this bit, and for what type of horse is it suitable?

This Myler Dee Snaffle Bit, featuring the MB 43LP mouthpiece, is generally classified as a Myler Level 2. This level is designed for green or steady horses, those restarting training, or horses transitioning from a Level 1 mouthpiece. It aims to offer more tongue relief and encourage relaxation and clearer communication, making it suitable for horses with a steady disposition who are ready to refine their responses.

What are the "hooks" on the Dee ring for, and how do they benefit communication?

The integrated "hooks" on the Dee ring serve to stabilize the bit in the horse's mouth, preventing it from sliding or being pulled through, which ensures more precise signals. These hooks also facilitate Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing you to apply pressure to one side of the horse's mouth without significantly affecting the other, crucial for precise lateral communication. Additionally, they can provide a small amount of poll pressure and mild leverage, leading to more efficient and gentle signaling.

How does this bit ensure my horse's comfort, especially regarding tongue relief?

Horse comfort is a top priority with this Myler bit. The low-ported (typically 1/4 inch port) and curved MB04 mouthpiece is engineered to provide significant tongue relief, allowing for comfortable swallowing and natural tongue movement. This design prevents pinching of the lips and bars, distributing pressure evenly across the tongue and bars. The central barrel further eliminates the "nutcracker" action often associated with traditional jointed snaffles, promoting a relaxed and accepting mouth.

What are the benefits of the copper inlay, and how durable is it?

The copper inlay is strategically included to encourage salivation and bit acceptance. Copper's warmth and slightly sweet taste naturally stimulate a horse's mouth, promoting relaxation and a softer jaw. By using an inlay rather than solid copper, this design addresses durability concerns, as the copper is protected by the stronger stainless steel. This ensures the bit maintains its beneficial properties while offering enhanced longevity.

How do I ensure correct sizing, and is this bit legal for competitive disciplines?

For optimal comfort and effectiveness, accurate sizing is crucial. Some Myler bits can run slightly larger than traditional bits, so we recommend carefully measuring your horse's current bit or consulting a professional. The bit should fit snugly, allowing approximately ¼ inch of space on either side of the mouth to prevent pinching while providing stability. Regarding legality, the presence of the integrated "hooks" can sometimes render this bit non-compliant for competitive disciplines like dressage. Always consult the most current rulebook of your specific discipline's governing body (e.g., USEF, FEI) before competing with this bit to ensure full compliance.
