Myler MB 36 Dee Ring Snaffle Bit - Forward Tilted Port, Copper Inlay & Stainless Steel - Dressage Legal

Transform your horse’s resistance into relaxation with the Myler MB 36 Dee Snaffle, specifically engineered to eliminate tongue pressure and encourage a softer, more responsive mouth. Whether you are navigating a dressage test or refining your daily training, this bit provides the sophisticated communication needed for a truly harmonious partnership.

Crafted by the world-renowned Myler brothers, the MB 36 features a Level 2-3 mouthpiece designed for horses with a solid foundation who require significant tongue relief. The innovative forward-tilted port and Independent Side Movement (ISM) allow for nuanced, one-sided aids while preventing the "nutcracker" action of traditional snaffles, ensuring your horse remains comfortable and focused on your cues.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Forward-Tilted Port: Features a 1-inch, 45-degree tilted port that protects the tongue from constant pressure while preventing any contact with the sensitive palate.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlays: The mouthpiece is constructed from sweet iron, which oxidizes to create a sweet taste that stimulates salivation and encourages a "softer," more receptive mouth.
• Independent Side Movement: Allows the rider to isolate one side of the bit for clearer lateral cues and more refined communication without disturbing the opposite side of the mouth.
• Stable Dee Ring Design: The high-quality stainless steel Dee rings provide excellent lateral stability, preventing the bit from pulling through the mouth and offering a consistent, reliable contact.
• USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: This "no-hook" version is fully compliant with USEF (1/2012) and FEI (7/2016) regulations, making it a premier choice for competitive dressage, hunters, and eventing.
• Myler Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: Specifically engineered for horses that are "behind the vertical" or show sensitivity to traditional single-jointed snaffles due to tongue pressure.
• Precision Sizing: Purposefully manufactured 1/8" to 1/4" wider than standard bits to accommodate the unique Myler fit and ensure the hardware functions without pinching the lips.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why does this bit look wider than my traditional snaffle when fitted?
A: Myler bits follow a specific "Rule of Thumb" for sizing; they are manufactured to be 1/8" to 1/4" wider than stated. A correct fit should show a small portion of the mouthpiece on either side of the lips to allow the Independent Side Movement to function without pinching.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that tosses its head or resists contact?
A: Absolutely. The MB 36 is designed for tongue-sensitive horses. By utilizing a 45-degree forward-tilted port, it removes direct pressure from the tongue and bars, which is the primary cause of head tossing and resistance in many horses.

Q: Can I use this bit in recognized Dressage competitions?
A: Yes, this specific Dee Snaffle (without hooks) is legal for USEF and FEI Dressage. It is a top choice for riders looking for a legal bit that offers more tongue relief than a standard mullen or jointed snaffle.
