Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of pony is the Myler MB 09 Level 1 mouthpiece suitable for?

Its curved design offers comfort and allows for more freedom in the pony's mouth, making it excellent for introducing basic signals and encouraging a gentle response.

What is the purpose of the copper inlay in this bit?

The copper inlay is specifically designed to encourage salivation in your pony's mouth. This helps to neutralize acids, promoting increased relaxation, a softer mouth, and quicker acceptance of the bit. It's a key feature for improving communication and overall responsiveness.

How does the Dee ring cheekpiece function?

The Dee ring cheekpiece provides a stable and traditional feel, delivering clear and direct rein aids to your pony. Its design helps prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth and ensures a consistent, gentle contact, aiding in precise communication. This particular model features a standard Dee without hooks for a classic, direct action.

Yes, the Myler MB 09 Dee Snaffle (without hooks) is recognized as legal for USEF dressage, FEI dressage, and USEA eventing dressage. Riders should always consult the specific organization's current rule book for any updates or detailed regulations.
