Unlock a softer, more responsive connection by providing your horse the tongue relief they crave with the Myler MB 04 Dee Snaffle. This Level 2 bit eliminates the "nutcracker" pressure of traditional snaffles, transforming a resistant horse into a willing partner through superior ergonomic comfort.

Meticulously engineered from high-quality stainless steel and sweet iron, the MB 04 is the gold standard for riders transitioning from basic training to refined communication. The combination of anatomically curved bars and the patented Myler design ensures a fit that respects the horse's mouth structure, encouraging a relaxed jaw and a steady, focused head carriage in any discipline.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2 Low Port (1/4"): Provides generous tongue relief to encourage swallowing and relaxation, making it the ideal solution for horses that fight constant tongue pressure.
• Independent Side Movement: Features a central barrel that allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling the rider to give precise, isolated rein cues for lifting a shoulder or bending.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that, combined with copper inlays, naturally promotes salivation and bit acceptance.
• Ergonomic Curved Bars: Anatomically shaped to conform to the horse's mouth, distributing pressure kindly across the bars and lips while preventing painful pinching.
• 3 3/8" Stainless Steel Dee Rings: Offers a stable, consistent feel and a classic profile that is fully USEF and FEI Dressage legal (when used without hooks).
• Myler Sizing Philosophy: These bits are manufactured 1/8" wider than their stated size to accommodate the specific Myler fit, ensuring the mouthpiece doesn't pinch the cheeks against the teeth.
• Durable Construction: Crafted from premium stainless steel to resist corrosion and ensure long-lasting performance through years of daily schooling and competition.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the correct size for the Myler MB 04?
A: Myler recommends a fit that allows for 1/8" to 1/4" of clearance on each side of the lips. Because Myler bits are built 1/8" wider than labeled (e.g., a 5" bit measures 5 1/8"), you should always round up to the next size if your horse's measurement falls between standard sizes.

Q: Is this bit legal for use in the show ring?
A: Yes, the Myler MB 04 Dee Snaffle (without hooks) is a staple for Hunter and Jumper classes and is fully compliant with USEF and FEI Dressage regulations, making it a versatile choice for multi-discipline competitors.

Q: Why is "Sweet Iron" used in the mouthpiece?
A: Sweet iron is intended to rust over time, which creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable. This encourages the horse to "mouth" the bit and salivate, leading to a softer, more responsive mouth and better communication.
