Myler Bridoon SS Low Port Mullen Barrel Bit MB06 Level 2-3 - 5 1/2" Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay

Achieve a softer, more responsive connection in the dressage ring with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and encourage total relaxation. The Myler Bridoon MB06 provides the precision of independent side movement while ensuring your horse remains focused and comfortable during advanced maneuvers.

Engineered for the refined equine athlete, this Level 2-3 bit features the patented Myler design that balances gentle tongue pressure with significant relief for horses with established basics. Crafted from premium stainless steel with integrated copper inlays, it naturally promotes salivation and a "wet" mouth, facilitating a more harmonious partnership and preventing the resistance often caused by traditional single-jointed bits.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB06 Low Port Mullen Barrel: Features a subtle 1/4" port that provides essential tongue relief while preventing the bit from rotating onto the bars, encouraging a relaxed and accepting mouth.
• Independent Side Movement: Allows the rider to lift one side of the bit independently to clarify lateral cues and improve shoulder control without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Dressage Legal Design: Fully compliant with USEF, USDF, and FEI regulations for dressage competition when used as a bridoon, featuring a port height well under the 30mm limit.
• Optimized Bridoon Rings: Specifically designed with smaller stainless steel rings to fit comfortably alongside a Weymouth bit in a double bridle setup without bulk or interference.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: The premium construction includes copper inlays to stimulate salivation and relaxation, ensuring the horse remains soft and responsive to the rider's aids.
• Precision Myler Sizing: This 5 1/2" bit is manufactured to Myler’s "1/8-inch rule," measuring exactly 5 5/8" to provide the necessary clearance and prevent the rings from pinching the horse's lips.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if the Level 2-3 MB06 mouthpiece is right for my horse?
A: This level is ideal for horses with established basic training who demonstrate good self-control but may be showing resistance to tongue pressure. It offers more tongue relief than a Level 2 bit, making it perfect for horses that need a bit more "room" to relax their jaw and accept the contact.

Q: Why is the bit slightly wider than the 5 1/2" measurement listed?
A: Myler bits are intentionally crafted 1/8" wider than the stated size (measuring 5 5/8" in this case) to ensure there is a 1/8" to 1/4" clearance on each side of the mouth. This specific design prevents the rings from rubbing or pinching the horse's lips, ensuring maximum comfort during lateral work.

Q: Can I use this bit in a standard snaffle bridle or only a double bridle?
A: While designed as a bridoon for use in a double bridle, the MB06 mouthpiece is highly effective for any rider seeking refined communication. However, the smaller rings are specifically scaled to accommodate the second bit (the curb) in a dressage double bridle setup.
