Myler 3-Ring Combination Bit MB 36 Mullen Forward Tilt Low Ported Barrel - 6" Mouth, Sweet Iron, Level 2-3

Achieve unparalleled precision and soft communication with a bit designed to give your horse a clear "pre-signal" before the mouthpiece even engages. This Level 2-3 hybrid is the ultimate tool for riders in high-speed disciplines who need refined control without sacrificing their horse's comfort or willingness to swallow.

The Myler MB 36 is a masterpiece of equestrian engineering, featuring a sweet iron mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes to encourage salivation and relaxation. Its unique 5-point pressure system—incorporating the nose, chin, poll, bars, and lips—disperses rein aids more effectively than traditional bits, while the 1-inch forward-tilted port provides vital tongue relief for the advancing horse. By allowing the mouthpiece to slide one full inch before reaching a stop, this bit rewards the horse for responding to light poll and nose pressure, fostering a more responsive and confident partner.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 36 Forward Tilt Mouthpiece: Features a 1" low port tilted at a 45-degree angle to allow for easy swallowing while avoiding painful palate pressure.
• 5-Point Pressure System: Disperses rein aids across the nose, chin, poll, bars, and lips, acting as a sophisticated hybrid between a ring bit, shank, and hackamore.
• Independent Side Movement: The mouthpiece allows the rider to engage one side of the bit independently for more precise lateral cues and better shoulder control.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that promotes a moist, responsive mouth and encourages salivation.
• Adjustable Leverage Options: The 6" stainless steel 3-ring shank offers three rein positions (Big Ring, Middle, and Bottom) to customize the degree of leverage from direct rein to mild leverage.
• Integrated Pre-Signal: The mouthpiece slides 1" before engaging, giving the horse the opportunity to respond to nose and poll pressure before the mouthpiece touches the bars.
• Premium Materials: Constructed with a flat leather noseband with knotted cord accents and a synthetic chin strap designed to resist stretching over time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?
A: Myler bits are intentionally manufactured 1/8” to 1/4” larger than their stated size to accommodate the curved bars and Independent Side Movement. If your horse typically wears a 5" bit, order the 5" Myler, as the necessary "buffer" space is already built-in to prevent pinching the lips.

Q: Is this bit legal for Dressage competition?
A: While the MB 36 mouthpiece offers excellent relief, the 3-ring combination cheek configuration is generally not dressage legal. It is, however, a premier choice for Jumpers, Cross Country, and Barrel Racing where multi-point communication and agility are essential.

Q: What is the benefit of the Level 2-3 mouthpiece over a standard snaffle?
A: Unlike a traditional snaffle that can collapse and pinch, the MB 36 protects the tongue with its low port. It is ideal for horses that have a basic training foundation but require tongue relief to stay relaxed, while still offering the rider enough control for technical maneuvers.
