Myler MB 06 Combination Bit - Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel Low Port, 6" Shank, Level 2-3, Copper Inlay

Stop struggling with resistance and unlock a new level of communication through Myler’s revolutionary five-point pressure system. The MB 06 Combination Bit offers the perfect balance of leverage and tongue relief, ensuring your horse stays soft, relaxed, and responsive to your lightest cues.

Engineered for the horse that requires more than a standard snaffle but less than a traditional curb, this bit seamlessly blends the mechanics of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore. Crafted with Myler’s patented Independent Side Movement (ISM), the MB 06 allows you to isolate one side of the mouth to lift a shoulder or refine lateral work, providing a level of precision that standard bits simply cannot match.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 5-Point Pressure System: Distributes rein pressure across the nose, chin, poll, bars, and tongue, allowing the horse to respond to "warning" signals before the mouthpiece fully engages.
• Mullen Barrel with Low Port: The 3/4" high wide port provides essential tongue relief and prevents palate pressure, ensuring a comfortable, non-pinching fit for a more willing partner.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: This mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that stimulates salivation and encourages a moist, supple, and accepting mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Features an internal barrel that allows each side of the bit to move independently for clear, one-sided rein cues and superior lateral flexion.
• 6" Balanced Shank: Provides the necessary leverage for refined control and "brakes" in high-energy disciplines like show jumping and speed events.
• Level 2-3 Training Versatility: Specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation that are progressing in balance and collection or those needing a refresher in responsiveness.
• 1-Inch Slide Action: The mouthpiece slides approximately one inch before hitting a "stop," giving the horse a clear opportunity to "give" to the poll and nose pressure first.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the Myler MB 06 fits my horse correctly?
A: Myler bits tend to run approximately 1/4" larger than standard brands. If your horse typically wears a 5.25", we recommend sizing down to a 5" for the most secure fit. Additionally, because the "purchase" (the upper part of the shank) is longer than average, you may need to shorten your bridle’s cheekpieces to ensure the bit sits at the correct height.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for endurance or trail riding?
A: Yes! The MB 06 is a favorite for distance riders because it spreads pressure across five points, preventing the mouth soreness often caused by traditional curb bits while still offering the refined control needed for long days in the saddle.
