Frequently Asked Questions

Which horses are best suited for the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit?

The Myler MB 06 is ideal for horses at Myler Level 2-3. This includes horses with basic training, those demonstrating some balance and collection, and "finished" horses progressing in a specific discipline. It's also an excellent transitional bit for horses moving from a snaffle to more refined bridle work, or for those advancing beyond Myler Level 2 and traditional mullen-style bits.

How does the Myler MB 06 ensure comfort for my horse?

Comfort is central to the MB 06's design. It features a Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel mouthpiece, which oxidizes to a sweet taste, encouraging salivation and acceptance. A copper inlay further enhances taste and promotes salivation. The MB 06 mouthpiece has a wide, low port (¾" high) that provides crucial tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably without palate pressure. While it applies pressure to the bars and lips when engaged, the curved mouthpiece prevents pinching, ensuring a humane and comfortable experience.

How does this bit provide effective communication and control?

The MB 06 is a highly effective communication tool due to its combination design, functioning as a hybrid of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore. It utilizes five different pressure points: nose, chin, poll, and the mouth (bars and lips). This allows your horse to respond to nose, chin, and poll pressure before the mouthpiece fully engages, offering a progressive signal. It provides a balanced blend of leverage and direct rein action. Crucially, it features Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing the shanks to rotate independently. This enables precise, one-sided rein cues for lifting shoulders, balancing, bending, and collection, with the mouthpiece able to slide slightly before engaging, giving your horse a moment to respond.

How does the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit apply pressure, and is it considered a mild bit?

The Myler MB 06 is designed to be a humane communication tool by dispersing pressure across multiple points: the nose, chin, poll, and mouth. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece applies primary pressure to the bars and lips, while the low port ensures tongue relief. This bit offers mild leverage and features a non-collapsing mouthpiece, which contributes significantly to its overall mildness and clarity of signal. It provides indirect (curb) rein action and functions optimally when used with a curb strap.
