Myler 06 English Dee Bit with Hooks - 5" Mouth - MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port Copper Inlay

Transform your horse’s responsiveness by providing the ultimate tongue relief and clarity of cues with the Myler 06 English Dee Bit. Designed for horses transitioning into refined training, this bit eliminates resistance caused by tongue pressure, fostering a willing, relaxed, and high-performance partnership.

Engineered with Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement™, this bit allows you to isolate one side of the mouth to lift a shoulder or flex without affecting the entire mouthpiece. The combination of high-quality stainless steel and copper inlays encourages salivation and a soft mouth, ensuring your horse remains receptive and comfortable through every transition.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 06 Mullen Low Port: Features a 1/4" to 3/4" port height that offers significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and relax while maintaining clear communication on the bars.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The unique center barrel enables each side of the bit to move independently for precise, isolated cues and improved lateral balance.
• 5" Curved Mouthpiece: Anatomically shaped to sit comfortably across the bars, reducing the "nutcracker" effect and preventing the "elbows" of the bit from rubbing the horse's lips.
• 3 3/4" Stainless Steel Dee Rings: Provides a stable feel in the horse's mouth and prevents the bit from being pulled through, making it an excellent choice for training and lateral work.
• Integrated Hooks: Offers versatile rein placement for direct action or mild poll pressure, assisting in keeping the bit correctly positioned and lifting the horse's frame.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Promotes salivation and a "sweet" taste, encouraging the horse to accept the bit and maintain a soft, supple connection.
• Level 2-3 Design: Specifically crafted for horses with basic training who are mastering collection, lead changes, and advanced responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?
A: Myler bits follow a specific fitting philosophy; a correctly fitted 5" bit should show approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's lips. This gap ensures the curved bars sit anatomically correct without pinching the bars or lips.

Q: Is the Myler 06 English Dee with Hooks legal for competition?
A: While the MB 06 mouthpiece is often dressage legal, the addition of hooks on the Dee ring (which provide fixed positioning and mild poll pressure) typically makes this bit illegal for USEF/FEI Dressage. It remains a top choice for Hunter/Jumper, Eventing jumping phases, and Trail riding.

Q: How does the "Low Port" benefit a horse that is "tongue-heavy"?
A: The ¾" port creates a space for the tongue to move and swallow comfortably. By removing constant pressure from the tongue and distributing it to the bars and lips, the horse is less likely to fight the bit or show resistance through the jaw.
