Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 02 ensure my horse's comfort and prevent pinching?

The MB 02 features a unique curved mouthpiece with a wide barrel. This design distributes pressure more evenly across the tongue and bars, significantly reducing direct tongue pressure and providing ample tongue relief. This allows your horse to swallow comfortably and relax in their jaw. While traditional snaffles, especially loose ring styles, can sometimes cause pinching, Myler bits are thoughtfully designed with proper proportions and smooth finishes to minimize discomfort. Focus is on the mouthpiece’s gentle action to ensure overall comfort.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it improve communication?

Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) means that each side of the bit can move independently of the other. The central barrel acts as a bushing, allowing the rider to engage one rein to give a clear, precise signal – for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder – without moving the entire mouthpiece. This allows for much more refined and targeted communication than traditional snaffles, enhancing your horse's understanding and responsiveness.

Which types of horses are best suited for the Myler MB 02 bit?

The Myler MB 02 is a Level 1 bit, making it ideal for horses in basic training, those learning fundamental gaits and transitions, or for retraining horses that are heavy in the hand. It's particularly beneficial for young, green, or sensitive horses, as well as those with fleshy tongues or crowded mouth conformations who require significant tongue relief and a gentle approach.

What is the purpose of the copper inlay and stainless steel materials?

The stainless steel construction ensures exceptional durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning, guaranteeing a long-lasting bit. The copper inlay in the mouthpiece is specifically designed to encourage salivation. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more supple mouth, helping your horse to accept the bit more readily and relax through the jaw, leading to better communication and performance. The combination offers both strength and a natural incentive for acceptance.

Is the Myler MB 02 Comfort Snaffle Bit legal for competition?

Yes, the Myler MB 02 Comfort Snaffle Bit is confirmed to be legal for USEF, FEI, and USEA dressage competitions. However, we always advise riders to consult their specific organization's current rulebook for any potential updates or specific guidelines relevant to their competitive discipline.
