Specifically engineered for the sensitive, progressing horse, this Level 2-3 bit provides the ultimate combination of tongue relief and precise control. It is an essential tool for Dressage, Hunter, and Jumper riders seeking a softer, more responsive connection through advanced ergonomics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe \"With Hooks\" Advantage: Versatile Leverage and Stability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis specialized Dee ring features integrated hooks for the headstall and reins, offering riders multiple configuration options. Utilizing the hooks creates a fixed-cheek feel that prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth while introducing a mild degree of poll pressure. This subtle leverage encourages the horse to break at the poll and maintain a more vertical frame, providing a more sophisticated signal than a traditional loose-ring or plain Dee snaffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMB 36 Mouthpiece: Advanced Tongue Relief\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe MB 36 Forward Tilt Ported Barrel is the hallmark of Myler’s Level 2-3 design. By tilting the port forward, the bit applies pressure primarily to the bars and lips while offering generous room for the tongue to pass underneath. This design eliminates the \"nutcracker\" pinch of traditional jointed bits, allowing the horse to swallow naturally and relax their jaw—perfect for horses that show signs of tongue sensitivity or head-tossing under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerformance Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Side Movement (ISM):\u003c\/strong\u003e The central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently. This enables the rider to give isolated cues to lift a single shoulder or ask for lateral flexion without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated Copper Inlays:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality stainless steel is enhanced with strategic copper inlays.

When fitted correctly, you should see approximately 1\/8” of the mouthpiece on either side of the horse's mouth. This extra clearance is vital for the Independent Side Movement to function effectively without causing friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscipline Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e While highly favored in the schooling ring for Dressage and Jumpers, the MB 36 design is widely recognized for its ability to foster a \"light\" horse.
