Frequently Asked Questions

What Myler Level is the Comfort Snaffle (MB 01) and which horses is it best for?

The Myler Comfort Snaffle (MB 01) is a Myler Level 1 mouthpiece. This level is designed for horses that are just beginning their training, young horses, or those that are inexperienced with a bit. It applies moderate pressure to the center of the tongue, encouraging the horse to relax and accept the bit, helping them learn to respond to basic rein aids comfortably.

How does the Myler Comfort Snaffle (MB 01) ensure my horse's comfort?

The MB 01 mouthpiece is meticulously designed for comfort. It features a curved shape that avoids pinching the horse's lips and bars. The central barrel distributes pressure evenly across the tongue, and its Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows you to give clearer, isolated signals to each side of the mouth without causing the "nutcracker" effect often seen with traditional jointed bits. These elements work together to encourage the horse to relax their jaw, swallow, and softly accept the bit, leading to better communication.

Is this Myler Dee Snaffle truly dressage legal for competitive events?

Yes, absolutely! This Myler Dee Snaffle Bit is explicitly designed "without hooks," meaning it does not have the slots for bridle and rein attachment often found on other Dee rings. This "plain" Dee ring design, combined with the MB 01 mouthpiece, makes it 100% legal for USEF dressage, FEI dressage, and USEA eventing dressage competitions. You can compete with full confidence in its compliance.

What are the benefits of the stainless steel material and copper inlay?

The stainless steel construction provides exceptional durability and rust resistance, ensuring your bit maintains its integrity and performance over time. Stainless steel also has a neutral taste, which many horses find palatable. The added copper inlay is a deliberate design choice to encourage salivation. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more supple mouth, helping the horse relax into the contact and accept the bit more readily.

How do I ensure proper sizing and fit for my horse?

Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. For the Myler Dee Snaffle, you generally want to see about 1/4 inch of space on either side between your horse's lips and the bit rings. This ensures the bit is not too tight, which can cause pinching, nor too wide, which can make it ineffective. If you are unsure, it's always recommended to consult with an experienced trainer or saddler for a precise fit specific to your horse's unique mouth anatomy.
