Unlock your pony’s potential with a bit designed to eliminate resistance and foster a soft, responsive connection. The Myler MB 36 English Dee is the ultimate solution for refined breeds and ponies that require sophisticated tongue relief without sacrificing clear, lateral communication.

Engineered for the "forward" equine athlete, this Level 2-3 bit features Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement, allowing riders to deliver precise cues to one side of the mouth without affecting the other. The durable stainless steel construction is enhanced with copper inlays to promote salivation and relaxation, ensuring your horse remains focused and comfortable whether you are schooling in the arena or navigating the show ring.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Specialized 4 1/4" Sizing: Perfectly proportioned for ponies, small cobs, or very refined breeds, providing a secure and comfortable fit where standard horse bits fail.
• MB 36 Forward Tilt Ported Barrel: Features a 1" port tilted forward at a 45-degree angle to provide significant tongue relief and prevent palate pressure, ideal for horses with thick tongues or low palates.
• Level 2-3 Performance: Designed for horses with a solid foundation that show resistance to tongue pressure, offering a more nuanced signal that encourages the horse to "back off" the bit and relax.
• Independent Side Movement: The central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling you to lift one shoulder or provide precise lateral cues with ease.
• Proportional 3" Dee Rings: Features smaller Dee rings to maintain a balanced, professional look on smaller heads while providing the lateral stability needed to prevent the bit from pulling through the mouth.
• Versatile Hook Attachments: Includes optional hooks for the bridle and reins, allowing you to transition from direct action to a mild leverage effect or use a curb strap for added control.
• USEF Dressage Legal: This specific model (#89-21362) is USEF Dressage legal, making it a top choice for competitive riders looking for a performance edge in the ring.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit suitable for a standard-sized horse?
A: No, the 4 1/4" measurement is a specialty size strictly for ponies, small cobs, or very refined breeds; owners of average-sized horses should typically look for a 5" bit to ensure a proper fit.

Q: How does the MB 36 mouthpiece help a horse that is "heavy" in the hand?
A: By providing significant tongue relief through the forward-tilted port, the MB 36 removes the "nutcracker" pressure that often causes horses to lean or resist, instead encouraging them to carry themselves with a softer, more accepting mouth.

Q: What is the benefit of the Dee ring over a standard loose ring?
A: The English Dee ring provides a more stable, "direct" feel and applies lateral pressure on the horse's face, which assists with steering and prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth during tight turns.
