This \u003cstrong\u003eFull Cheek Snaffle with hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e is specifically designed for horses that have established basic training but require more tongue relief to remain soft, relaxed, and responsive. As a \u003cstrong\u003eLevel 2 Myler\u003c\/strong\u003e bit, the MB 04 provides a transition from a basic snaffle by introducing innovative mouthpiece technology that rewards a willing horse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA key feature of this bit is its specialized construction. While the full cheek pieces are made of durable, high-quality \u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, the mouthpiece is crafted from \u003cstrong\u003eSweet Iron with Copper Inlay\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdvanced Design \u0026amp; Functionality:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMB 04 Mouthpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features a 1\/4\" low port that provides vital \u003cstrong\u003etongue relief\u003c\/strong\u003e. This design collapses slightly to wrap the bars but protects the tongue, encouraging the horse to relax his jaw and move off the pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Side Movement (ISM):\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Cheek with Hooks:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMyler Level 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for horses transitioning out of a Level 1 bit, those needing re-schooling, or horses that show resistance to tongue pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eImportant Sizing \u0026amp; Compliance Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"Myler Fit\" Sizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note that Myler bits are engineered to run slightly larger than traditional bits to accommodate the Independent Side Movement. A \u003cstrong\u003e5-inch Myler bit fits like a standard 5.25-inch bit\u003c\/strong\u003e. This extra clearance is intentional, ensuring the bit does not pinch the horse’s lips when the independent rotation is engaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressage Legality:\u003c\/strong\u003e While the MB 04 mouthpiece is a favorite for training, please be advised that this specific model (SKU 89-24045) is \u003cstrong\u003enot legal for USEF\/FEI Dressage\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are refining lateral work or seeking a \u003cstrong\u003etongue relief bit\u003c\/strong\u003e to help a sensitive horse, the Myler MB 04 Full Cheek provides the professional-grade engineering required for a more harmonious partnership.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46565752439005,"sku":"89-24045","price":183.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_4f7a3b58-9e8f-4658-b2f0-7ce90046c4c0.webp?v=1767081848","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-5-89-24045-full-cheek-with-hook-and-low-port-comfort-snaffle-mb-04-89-24045","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
