Myler 5" Western Dee with Hooks and Correctional Wide Port MB 41PBW Bit - Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay

Achieve unparalleled clarity in your cues while providing your horse with the ultimate tongue relief they deserve. This Myler Level 2-3 bit transforms resistance into relaxation, making it the perfect finishing tool for the refined Western athlete seeking sophisticated communication.

Engineered from high-grade stainless steel and featuring a signature sweet iron mouthpiece, the MB 41PBW is built for the dedicated equestrian who demands both durability and advanced design. By utilizing Myler’s innovative tiered port and Independent Side Movement (ISM) technology, this bit allows for nuanced lateral signals and precise vertical correction without the harshness of traditional long-shank leverage bits.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 5-Inch Mouthpiece Width: The industry-standard 12.7 cm sizing ensures a perfect, comfortable fit for the majority of average-sized Western horses, including Quarter Horses and Paints.
• Correctional Wide Port (MB 41PBW): Features a tiered, Level 2-3 design that offers maximum tongue relief when the horse is relaxed, while applying two focused pressure points on the tongue for refined control when the reins are engaged.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): This innovative design allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling you to lift a single shoulder or give clear lateral cues without the mouthpiece rotating as a single unit.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a palatable sweet taste that encourages salivation and a softer, more responsive mouth.
• 3-Inch Stainless Steel Dees: The fixed-cheek Dee ring design provides exceptional stability, preventing the bit from pulling through the mouth and protecting the horse's lips from painful pinching.
• Integrated Hook Functionality: Built-in slots for the headstall and reins allow for a fixed position, providing a subtle indirect action and poll pressure for riders who need more vertical leverage than a standard snaffle.
• Advanced Training Level: Specifically tailored for Level 2-3 horses that have a solid foundation and are beginning to collect or for those showing resistance to basic Level 1 or 2 mouthpieces.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a green horse just starting under saddle?
A: This bit is generally not recommended for green horses. It is a Level 2-3 "finishing" bit designed for horses that already understand basic aids and are ready for more refined, nuanced communication and collection.

Q: How do the hooks change the way the bit functions compared to a standard Dee ring?
A: When you attach your headstall and reins to the integrated hooks, the bit remains in a fixed position. This creates a mild "indirect" action that introduces subtle poll pressure and vertical leverage, offering more control than a traditional direct-rein snaffle.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece turning brown or looking rusty?
A: That is the Sweet Iron working exactly as intended! The metal is designed to oxidize (rust) to create a sweet taste that horses love, which promotes salivation and a more relaxed, accepting jaw during your ride.
