Key Features & Benefits:

• Unrivaled Comfort & Tongue Relief: The innovative Low Port Comfort Snaffle (MB 04) mouthpiece features a gentle, even pressure distribution across the tongue. This 1/4" port frees up space for your horse to swallow and relax, preventing pinching and encouraging acceptance.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM) for Clearer Aids: With its unique barrel design, each side of the bit moves independently. This eliminates the harsh "nutcracker" effect, allowing for precise, nuanced lateral aids and a more refined conversation between horse and rider.
• Dressage Legal & Competition Ready: Confidently enter the arena! The Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle (without hooks) is fully compliant with major dressage regulations, including USEF, FEI, EA, and British Dressage rules.
• Premium Materials for Acceptance: Crafted from durable stainless steel with a beneficial copper inlay and sweet iron, the mouthpiece promotes salivation and a soft mouth. The sweet iron naturally oxidizes, creating a taste horses love, enhancing acceptance and relaxation.
• Pinch-Free Eggbutt Design: The classic eggbutt cheekpiece ensures stability and prevents pinching at the corners of your horse's mouth. This design aids in clear communication and maintains consistent, comfortable contact.
• Myler Level 2 Bit for Enhanced Training: Ideal for green horses, those transitioning from basic training, or horses needing re-schooling. This bit encourages relaxation and acceptance, offering a more comfortable and effective experience than Level 1 bits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 04 provide enhanced comfort and tongue relief?

The Myler MB 04 features a 1/4-inch Low Port Comfort Snaffle mouthpiece. This innovative design offers significant tongue relief by creating space, allowing your horse to swallow and move its tongue comfortably when relaxed. Its ergonomically curved shape also prevents pinching of the bars and lips, ensuring overall comfort and reducing resistance.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it improve communication?

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a distinguishing feature of the Myler MB 04, made possible by a unique central barrel design. This allows each side of the bit to move independently, meaning you can apply a lateral aid to one side of your horse's mouth without affecting the other. This prevents the harsh "nutcracker" effect, facilitating clearer, more precise signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder, leading to a more refined connection.

Is the Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle legal for dressage, and what type of horse is it best suited for?

Yes, the Myler MB 04 Eggbutt Snaffle (without hooks) is widely approved for major dressage competitions under rules like USEF, FEI, EA, and British Dressage. It is categorized as a Myler Level 2 bit, making it an excellent transitional option. It’s ideal for green horses starting their training, experienced horses being introduced to the Myler system, or those needing re-schooling.

Beyond tongue relief, how does the MB 04 ensure comfort, and what are the benefits of its materials?

The fixed eggbutt cheekpiece of the MB 04 significantly contributes to comfort by preventing pinching at the corners of your horse's mouth and providing a stable feel. The mouthpiece is crafted from durable stainless steel with a sweet iron component and copper inlays. These materials naturally oxidize, creating a pleasant taste that encourages salivation and a soft, accepting mouth, further enhancing overall comfort during your ride.
