Myler MB 09 Level 1 Dee Snaffle Bit - 4 1/2" Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - Pony Size

Transform your pony’s communication and focus with a bit designed to eliminate the harsh nutcracker effect and encourage a soft, willing frame. The Myler MB 09 Dee Snaffle provides the perfect balance of stability and comfort, making it the ultimate tool for young ponies or sensitive partners starting their training journey.

Myler bits are world-renowned for their ergonomic approach to equine dentistry, and the MB 09 is a masterpiece of functional design. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel for lifelong durability, this bit features a unique curved mouthpiece that wraps around the bars and lips rather than collapsing onto the sensitive tongue. This innovative shape, combined with a slim 3/8” profile, offers superior comfort for ponies with smaller mouths or thick tongues, ensuring your aids are received with clarity rather than resistance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 1 Mouthpiece (MB 09): Features a curved, single-jointed design that distributes pressure evenly across the tongue and bars, preventing the painful "nutcracker" action found in traditional snaffles.
• Integrated Copper Inlays: Strategically placed to promote natural salivation and a "wet" mouth, encouraging your pony to relax their jaw and accept the bit more readily.
• Stable 3" Pony Dee Cheekpiece: Provides direct rein aids and prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth, offering a consistent, stable feel for green ponies or those in dressage training.
• Slim 3/8" (9.5mm) Thickness: Specifically designed for the anatomy of a pony, this thinner mouthpiece is ideal for equines with low palates or limited room in the mouth for thick, bulky bits.
• Competition Approved: Fully legal for USEF, FEI, and USEA dressage and eventing, allowing you to train and compete with the same trusted equipment.
• Optimal Pony Dimensions: Perfectly proportioned with a 4 1/2" mouthpiece width to ensure a secure fit and effective communication for smaller equine athletes.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Offers exceptional durability and a classic, professional appearance that remains rust-free and easy to clean for years of use.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for my pony with this specific Myler design?
A: Because of the distinctive curve of the MB 09 mouthpiece, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit visible on both sides of the mouth. If your pony is between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure the Dee rings do not pinch or rub the lips.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a pony that is "busy" in the mouth or resistant to the bit?
A: Yes! The Level 1 MB 09 is designed specifically for horses and ponies that are learning basic cues. The combination of the tongue-relieving curve and the salivation-promoting copper inlays helps settle a restless mouth by replacing discomfort with a clear, comfortable signal.
