Experience the profound difference a bit specifically crafted for superior comfort and gentle control can make in every ride.

Key Features & Benefits:

• MB 03 Mouthpiece (Level 1 Comfort Snaffle): Crafted from sweet iron with a copper roller, this Myler Level 1 mouthpiece encourages salivation, relaxation, and better acceptance of the bit. Its curved design rotates gently onto the tongue, applying pressure without pinching, leading to a softer, more supple mouth.
• Patented Independent Side Movement™ (ISM): A hallmark of Myler innovation, ISM allows each side of the bit to move independently. This empowers riders to deliver precise, isolated signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, enhancing nuanced communication without affecting the opposite side.
• Kimberwick Style Cheekpiece: The "D" shaped Kimberwick cheeks offer versatile rein attachment options (direct snaffle or indirect curb). This allows riders to adjust leverage for precise control, providing guidance without harshness. Best used with a curb strap or chain for optimal effect and proper head carriage.
• Salivation-Promoting Copper Roller: Integrated into the mouthpiece, the copper roller actively stimulates salivation, vital for a soft and supple jaw. It also provides a mild sensory distraction, keeping your horse engaged and comfortable with the bit.
• Durable & Horse-Friendly Materials: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for exceptional longevity and corrosion resistance. The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to produce a palatable, sweet taste, further encouraging salivation and a comfortable, accepting mouth.
• Ergonomic 5-Inch Mouth: Thoughtfully designed to provide a comfortable and correct fit for a wide range of horses, minimizing pinching and allowing for natural jaw movement.

Invest in a bit that truly prioritizes your horse's wellbeing and unlocks their full potential. The Myler Kimberwick Snaffle Bit (MB 03) is more than just tack; it's a powerful tool for building trust and achieving a truly connected ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Myler MB 03 mouthpiece unique for horse comfort and training?

The Myler MB 03 is a Level 1 "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel" mouthpiece, renowned for its curved sweet iron design with a copper roller. It's engineered to promote relaxation and acceptance by encouraging salivation and applying gentle pressure onto the tongue, bars, and lips without pinching. A key feature is its patented Independent Side Movement™ (ISM), allowing each side of the bit to move independently. This enables riders to deliver precise, isolated signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, significantly enhancing communication and offering maximum tongue pressure for clear signals.

How does the Kimberwick cheekpiece function, and what are its benefits for control?

The Kimberwick cheekpiece features a "D" shaped stainless steel ring and offers two rein attachment options: a direct (snaffle) position and an indirect (curb) position. This versatility provides mild to moderate leverage, offering enhanced control compared to a simple snaffle. It's designed to be used with a curb strap or chain, which is crucial for preventing over-rotation and encouraging the horse to lower its head, leading to improved carriage and responsiveness. Understanding proper curb chain adjustment is key to its effective use.

What are the benefits of the integrated copper roller?

The copper roller, a prominent feature of the MB 03 mouthpiece, serves multiple beneficial purposes. It actively encourages salivation, which is vital for a soft and supple jaw, promoting relaxation and acceptance of the bit. Additionally, it provides a mild sensory distraction for restless or nervous horses, helping them to focus and stay comfortable with the bit, contributing to a more accepting mouth.

What materials are used in this bit, and how do they benefit the horse?

This Myler Kimberwick bit is primarily constructed from durable, high-quality stainless steel, ensuring longevity and excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, even with consistent use. The mouthpiece often incorporates sweet iron, a material that naturally oxidizes to create a palatable, sweet taste, further encouraging salivation and a softer, more accepting mouth. While copper is softer, its strategic use as a roller inlay rather than a full mouthpiece maximizes its benefits while maintaining durability.

Is the Myler Kimberwick Snaffle Bit suitable for all horses and legal for competition?

The Myler Kimberwick with an MB 03 mouthpiece is highly effective for many horses, particularly those in the early stages of training or those needing clear, direct signals. It can be beneficial for sensitive mouths due to its gentle pressure application. However, due to its leverage capabilities, the Myler Kimberwick bit is generally not considered legal for dressage competitions and may be restricted in certain Pony Club events or specific hunter classes. Riders should always consult the official rulebooks of their specific discipline, organization, or show circuit to confirm bit legality before competing.
