Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 02 mouthpiece ensure horse comfort?

The Myler MB 02 features an ergonomically curved "Comfort Snaffle" mouthpiece, uniquely designed to accommodate the horse's mouth anatomy without pinching the lips or bars. It includes a wide barrel that distributes pressure more kindly and evenly across the tongue and bars, providing ample tongue relief. Additionally, the Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) allows each side of the bit to move independently, reducing overall pressure and allowing for clearer lateral cues.

Why are Sweet Iron and Copper Inlays used in this bit?

Both sweet iron and copper inlay are incorporated to encourage salivation and bit acceptance. Sweet iron oxidizes when exposed to moisture, creating a naturally palatable, sweet taste that prompts the horse to salivate, relax, and accept the bit more readily. The copper inlay further enhances this sweet taste and stimulates additional salivation, contributing to a softer and more responsive mouth.

Is the MB 02 suitable for my horse's training stage or type?

Yes, the Myler MB 02 is classified as a Level 1 bit, making it ideal for horses just beginning training, young or green horses, or those needing re-training for basic gaits, transitions, and obedience. It's particularly effective for horses that tend to be "heavy in the hand" or frequently fuss with traditional bits, as it encourages them to relax and yield.

How does the Myler MB 02 bit function and distribute pressure?

The MB 02 primarily works off tongue pressure and bar pressure. The mouthpiece is designed to rotate gently onto the tongue, encouraging the horse to yield to the bit and seek a release of pressure. Its construction aims to distribute tongue pressure more evenly than many traditional bits. The "pinch and restrict with release" mechanism effectively teaches the horse to find the "comfort zone" by relaxing at the poll, promoting a softer and more attentive response.

Is the Myler MB 02 Snaffle Bit legal for dressage, and what about sizing?

Yes, the Myler MB 02 Snaffle Bit is noted as being dressage legal for USEF, USDF, and FEI in its snaffle configuration, making it suitable for a wide range of competitive disciplines. Regarding sizing, Myler bits are typically designed to measure slightly larger than the stated size. This slight overage ensures adequate clearance at the corners of the horse's mouth, preventing pinching and enhancing overall comfort.
