Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Myler MB 02 Snaffle suitable for my horse, especially if they are young or new to training?

Absolutely! The Myler MB 02 is a Level 1 Myler bit, making it an excellent choice for horses beginning their training journey, young or green horses, or those undergoing re-training. It provides clear, direct signals primarily through comfortable tongue pressure, laying a strong foundation for future communication and is suitable for disciplines requiring a single-jointed mouthpiece.

How does the MB 02's curved, wide barrel mouthpiece ensure comfort and even pressure distribution?

The MB 02 features a thoughtfully designed curved, wide barrel mouthpiece. This unique shape distributes pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars, effectively preventing the pinching often associated with traditional three-piece snaffles. Its design also offers ample room for your horse's tongue, promoting comfortable swallowing and relaxation.

What is "Sweet Iron" and how does it benefit my horse?

Sweet Iron is a special material used in the mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to air and moisture. This oxidation process creates a sweet taste in your horse's mouth, which encourages salivation. Increased salivation helps your horse relax, accept the bit more readily, and become more responsive. The MB 02 often includes a copper inlay as well, which further enhances this taste and salivation-promoting effect.

What is Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it improve communication?

Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key design feature allowing each side of the bit to move independently. This enables riders to apply more precise and isolated cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder. The result is clearer, more nuanced communication, leading to a more responsive and harmonious partnership.

Is the Myler MB 02 Snaffle legal for competition, particularly dressage?

Yes, for many organizations! The Myler MB 02 Snaffle is widely recognized and confirmed to be Dressage Legal for major equestrian governing bodies such as the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) and the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI). It is also often approved for hunter and jumper classes. Always check the specific rulebook for your competition as regulations can sometimes vary.

Does the Myler MB 02 provide tongue relief, or does it apply tongue pressure?

As a Level 1 Myler bit, the MB 02 is designed to apply tongue pressure for effective communication. However, the Myler system focuses on comfortable tongue pressure. The curved mouthpiece and wide barrel design distribute this pressure more kindly and evenly than many traditional bits, aiming to prevent pinching and provide more space for the horse's tongue to move and swallow comfortably, promoting overall relaxation and responsiveness.
