Experience the Myler Advantage:

• Revolutionary Comfort Snaffle (MB 02) Mouthpiece: Featuring a unique wide barrel with a copper inlay, this stainless steel mouthpiece is gently curved to conform to your horse's mouth. It prevents pinching, allows ample tongue room for comfortable swallowing, and encourages salivation for a softer, more receptive mouth. This Level 1 bit is an excellent alternative to traditional three-piece or French link snaffles.
• Kind & Effective Pressure Distribution: Designed to rotate fully onto the tongue under rein pressure, this mouthpiece distributes cues gently and evenly, encouraging your horse to yield to the bit more positively and consistently than traditional snaffles.
• Unmatched Stability & Independent Side Movement (ISM): The Baucher cheekpiece ensures the bit remains incredibly stable and suspended quietly in your horse's mouth, fostering confidence. Coupled with Myler's ISM via the central barrel, you gain precise, independent control over each side, enhancing lateral flexion, shoulder control, and crystal-clear communication.
• Ideal for Level 1 Training & Green Horses: Perfect for introducing young or inexperienced horses to bit pressure. This bit helps them learn to give to the bit and break at the poll effectively, making it an excellent foundation for any discipline. It's also a great choice for horses with busy mouths or those sensitive to movement in other bits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Myler 02 mouthpiece unique for my horse's comfort and communication?

The Myler 02 Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel (MB 02) mouthpiece is expertly designed with a gentle curve and a wide barrel to comfortably accommodate your horse's tongue. This thoughtful design prevents pinching of the lips and bars, allowing ample tongue room for comfortable swallowing and encouraging salivation with its copper inlay. As a Level 1 bit, it facilitates clear communication through its Independent Side Movement™ (ISM), allowing for more precise, independent rein aids. This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional three-piece or French link snaffles, promoting a soft and receptive mouth.

Does the Baucher cheekpiece apply poll pressure, and what are its main benefits?

Contrary to a common misconception, the Baucher cheekpiece typically applies little to no poll pressure. Modern understanding clarifies that its primary benefit lies in providing exceptional stability and keeping the bit suspended and quiet within the horse's mouth. This stillness can be incredibly comforting for horses with sensitive or busy mouths, fostering greater confidence and willingness. It functions as a direct-rein action snaffle, designed to relieve, rather than create, forces on the poll.

Is the Myler 02 Baucher bit suitable for young, green, or sensitive horses?

Absolutely! The Myler 5" 02 Stainless Steel Medium Baucher is classified as a Myler Level 1 bit, making it ideally suited for young, green, or inexperienced horses beginning their training journey. It's excellent for horses learning basic obedience, those inconsistent in the contact, or sensitive in the mouth, tongue, or bars. Horses that prefer a very stable bit that doesn't move excessively also thrive with this design.

Can I use the Myler 02 Baucher bit in competitive disciplines, and what is it made of?

Yes, this bit is widely accepted for competition! The Myler MB 02 Comfort Snaffle with Baucher cheeks is confirmed to be legal for use in a wide range of English riding disciplines, including USEF Dressage, USDF, FEI Dressage, Hunter, Jumper, and Eventing. This versatility makes it a compliant choice for competitive riders. The bit is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring longevity and quality, often featuring a copper inlay in the mouthpiece which is known to encourage salivation and further acceptance.
