Myler 5" Full Cheek with Hooks Low Port Comfort Snaffle MB 04 - Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay

Enhance your horse's performance and communication with the Myler horse bit MB 04. This Full Cheek Snaffle with hooks is specifically designed for horses that have established basic training but require more tongue relief to remain soft, relaxed, and responsive. As a Level 2 Myler bit, the MB 04 provides a transition from a basic snaffle by introducing innovative mouthpiece technology that rewards a willing horse.

A key feature of this bit is its specialized construction. While the full cheek pieces are made of durable, high-quality Stainless Steel, the mouthpiece is crafted from Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay. Sweet iron is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste in the horse's mouth that encourages salivation and acceptance. The integrated copper inlays further promote a moist, "soft" mouth, ensuring your horse stays comfortable during intense training sessions.

Advanced Design & Functionality:

• MB 04 Mouthpiece: Features a 1/4" low port that provides vital tongue relief. This design collapses slightly to wrap the bars but protects the tongue, encouraging the horse to relax his jaw and move off the pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The patented Myler ISM allows each side of the bit to move independently. This enables the rider to give precise, isolated cues—such as lifting one shoulder or asking for lateral flexion—without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Full Cheek with Hooks: The full cheek design offers maximum lateral guidance, preventing the bit from being pulled through the mouth. The integrated hooks allow for fixed bridle and rein positions, providing a small amount of leverage and poll pressure to stabilize the bit and sharpen communication.
• Myler Level 2: Ideal for horses transitioning out of a Level 1 bit, those needing re-schooling, or horses that show resistance to tongue pressure.

Important Sizing & Compliance Information:

The "Myler Fit" Sizing: Please note that Myler bits are engineered to run slightly larger than traditional bits to accommodate the Independent Side Movement. A 5-inch Myler bit fits like a standard 5.25-inch bit. This extra clearance is intentional, ensuring the bit does not pinch the horse’s lips when the independent rotation is engaged.

Dressage Legality: While the MB 04 mouthpiece is a favorite for training, please be advised that this specific model (SKU 89-24045) is not legal for USEF/FEI Dressage competitions. The presence of hooks creates a fixed attachment point and poll pressure that is currently prohibited in the dressage ring. It is, however, an exceptional tool for jumping, eventing schooling, and general pleasure riding.

Whether you are refining lateral work or seeking a tongue relief bit to help a sensitive horse, the Myler MB 04 Full Cheek provides the professional-grade engineering required for a more harmonious partnership.
