Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Myler Level of this bit and how does the MB 04 mouthpiece work?

This Myler bit features the MB 04 mouthpiece, which signifies a Myler Level 2 classification. This level is designed for horses with an established basic education, those transitioning from Myler Level 1 bits, or horses needing re-schooling. The MB 04 mouthpiece incorporates a 1/4-inch low port, providing excellent tongue relief while still allowing the bit to rotate onto the tongue to apply pressure. This encourages responsiveness and helps develop a softer, more accepting mouth.

How do I ensure the correct sizing and fit for this Myler bit?

Achieving the correct fit is crucial for your horse's comfort and the bit's effectiveness. To measure accurately, ensure the mouthpiece extends approximately 1/8" to 1/4" beyond the corner of your horse's lips on each side. Myler bits can sometimes measure slightly larger than their stated size, so always double-check. Proper sizing prevents pinching and ensures the bit functions as intended without being too wide or too narrow.

What are the benefits of the bit's ergonomic design and Independent Side Movement (ISM)?

The Myler MB 04 mouthpiece features an ergonomically curved design that gently wraps around your horse's bars and lips, significantly reducing the risk of pinching. This curvature, combined with the low port, provides ample space for your horse's tongue, allowing them to swallow comfortably and relax. Furthermore, Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows each side of the bit to move separately. This enables you to apply more precise, isolated rein aids, making it easier to guide, bend, balance, or lift a horse's shoulder effectively for clearer communication.

What are the advantages of the Sweet Iron, Copper Inlay, and Black Steel materials?

The mouthpiece is crafted from Sweet Iron with a Copper Inlay. Sweet Iron is chosen because it naturally oxidizes when exposed to air and moisture, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation, relaxation, and greater acceptance of the bit by the horse. The copper inlay further enhances palatability. The bit's overall construction features Black Steel, renowned for its exceptional durability and professional, sleek aesthetic that will develop a unique antique patina over time.

How does the Western Dee cheekpiece enhance communication?

The Western Dee cheekpiece provides a fixed attachment for the mouthpiece, offering a stable and consistent feel in the horse's mouth. This fixed design delivers a direct signal, which is clearer and more immediate than what a loose ring might offer. It also effectively prevents the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth or causing pinching at the corners, ensuring the bit remains precisely positioned for optimal communication between horse and rider.
