Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 01 ensure my horse's comfort and acceptance?

The Myler MB 01 is specifically designed for superior comfort. It features an ergonomically curved mouthpiece with a narrow barrel that conforms naturally to the horse's mouth, preventing pinching of the lips and bars. This design allows more room for the horse to swallow and distributes pressure evenly over the tongue. The copper inlay further enhances acceptance by promoting salivation and offering a palatable taste, encouraging a softer, more relaxed mouth.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it benefit communication?

Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) is a Myler technology that allows each side of the bit to move independently of the other. This unique feature enables the rider to give clearer, more precise signals for specific movements such as lifting a shoulder, balancing, bending, or collection, without unintentionally impacting the opposite side of the horse's mouth. It leads to more nuanced and effective communication.

Is this bit suitable for young or green horses? What does "Level 1" mean?

Yes, the Myler MB 01 is highly suitable for young, green, or less experienced horses, as well as those with sensitive mouths or challenging dispositions. It is categorized as a "Level 1" bit within the Myler Bitting System, meaning it's an introductory bit designed for horses just starting their training, learning basic gaits and transitions, and intended to help them comfortably "break at the poll" and accept gentle bit pressure.

How does the Myler MB 01 help with common resistance issues like chomping or head-tossing?

The MB 01 is a comfortable alternative to traditional single-jointed snaffles, which can concentrate pressure, restrict the tongue, and potentially pinch the horse's mouth. Its design aims to make the bit more comfortable by allowing the horse to swallow and relax, thereby reducing common evasive behaviors like chomping, head-tossing, or trying to get the tongue under the bit to escape pressure.

Is the Myler MB 01 Dee Snaffle legal for competition?

Yes, the Myler MB 01 Dee Snaffle Bit is approved and legal for several major equestrian disciplines. It is legal for USEF Dressage, FEI Dressage, and USEA Eventing Dressage competitions, making it a versatile choice for competitive riders.
