Because Myler mouthpieces are curved to follow the horse's anatomy, they often measure slightly larger than standard straight bits to accommodate this ergonomic design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for a horse transitioning out of a snaffle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Absolutely. The MB 06 is an excellent choice for horses moving from a snaffle or Level 2 bit who show resistance to tongue pressure. It provides a steady, non-collapsing mouthpiece that offers the relief they need while introducing the refined cues required for Western disciplines and collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-13065\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46553549996253,"sku":"89-13065","price":191.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_21ad69fe-dccf-4c52-93fe-ce7333117a1f.webp?v=1767081386","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-black-steel-seven-shank-bit-mb-06-mullen-low-ported-barrel-5","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
