Myler MB 06 Combination Bit - Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel Low Port with Copper Inlay, 3-Ring Level 2-3

Transform your horse's resistance into soft, willing communication with the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit, the ultimate "refresher" tool for horses that have become heavy or behind the bit. This innovative hybrid design rewards your horse with immediate relief, fostering a deeper connection through a staged pressure sequence that prioritizes comfort and clarity.

Engineered for Level 2-3 horses with a solid foundation, this bit features a 3/4" low port that provides essential tongue relief while the Sweet Iron and Copper Inlay mouthpiece naturally promotes salivation. The unique combination design utilizes a "floating" mouthpiece that allows for a pre-signal on the nose, poll, and jaw before the bit even engages the mouth, offering a more humane and effective way to refine your aids and encourage a supple, responsive frame.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Hybrid Pressure Distribution: Features a staged sequence that engages the nose, poll, and chin first; the mouthpiece "floats" and only engages the bars and tongue after sliding 1 inch, providing a clear reward for responsiveness.
• MB 06 Low Port Design: The 3/4" wide, low port offers significant tongue relief, allowing the horse to swallow comfortably and preventing direct palate pressure for a more relaxed performance.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is crafted from black iron designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that, combined with copper inlays, actively encourages salivation and a softer mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Myler’s signature ISM technology allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise, isolated rein signals for sophisticated bending, lifting, and balancing.
• 3-Ring Combination Versatility: Provides multiple rein attachment options to fine-tune leverage and pressure, making it an ideal choice for English and Western schooling, jumping, and trail riding.
• Level 2-3 Classification: Specifically tailored for horses with basic training who are progressing to more refined work and require a balance of tongue comfort and clear communication.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for this Myler bit?
A: Standard bit-fitting rules do not apply to Myler’s curved designs. To avoid pinching, you should see a "Myler Gap" of 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit visible on each side of the mouth; most riders find they need to size up by 1/4" compared to their traditional bits.

Q: My bit is starting to show brown discoloration or rust—is this a defect?
A: Not at all! This is the natural oxidation of the Sweet Iron. This process is intentional and safe, as the "rust" creates a sweet taste that horses love, which helps promote salivation and better bit acceptance.

Q: Is the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit legal for dressage competitions?
A: While this bit is a premier training and "refresher" tool for softening a horse's mouth, the combination design (utilizing a noseband and curb action) is generally not dressage legal. It is, however, a favorite for jumping, western performance, and general schooling.
