Myler English Dee Snaffle Bit with Hooks - MB 01 Comfort Snaffle Level 1, Stainless Steel & Copper Inlay

Transform your horse’s responsiveness and eliminate resistance with a bit designed for ultimate anatomical comfort and clear communication. The Myler English Dee Snaffle provides the perfect foundation for young or sensitive horses, fostering a soft, relaxed mouth and a more harmonious partnership from the very first ride.

Crafted from high-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel, this Level 1 Comfort Snaffle (MB 01) is engineered to distribute pressure evenly across the bars and tongue. Unlike traditional jointed snaffles that can collapse with a "nutcracker" action, the Myler design features an ergonomic curve that allows the horse to swallow naturally while providing the Independent Side Movement (ISM) necessary for precise lateral cues and refined schooling.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 01 Comfort Snaffle Mouthpiece: Offers a mild, Level 1 action specifically designed for horses beginning bit work or those requiring a reassuring, foundational feel.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Enables the rider to engage one side of the bit independently, providing clearer signals for turning and lateral work without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Integrated Copper Inlays: Thoughtfully placed to stimulate salivation, encouraging a softer, more supple jaw and greater overall acceptance of the bit.
• Stable Dee Ring with Hooks: Provides superior lateral stability to prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth, featuring integrated hooks for precise rein application and optional leverage.
• Anatomical Curved Design: The mouthpiece is curved to accommodate the tongue, reducing discomfort and preventing the bit from hitting the roof of the horse's mouth.
• Precision Sizing Rule: Purposefully manufactured 1/8” to 1/4” larger than the stated size to ensure the mouthpiece extends slightly beyond the lips, preventing pinching and allowing the ISM technology to function perfectly.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Built for maximum durability and easy maintenance, ensuring a pristine finish and long-lasting performance in any discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the Myler English Dee Snaffle legal for horse show competition?
A: Yes, this bit is a staple in the Hunter/Jumper rings due to its stability and polished appearance. When used without the optional hooks, the MB 01 mouthpiece is generally USEF and FEI Dressage legal; however, we always recommend verifying with your specific association’s current rulebook.

Q: Why does the bit appear slightly wider than my horse's standard size?
A: This is a signature Myler design feature. Myler bits are crafted 1/8” to 1/4” larger than their stated size to allow the mouthpiece to sit properly outside the lips. This extra width is essential for the Independent Side Movement to function correctly and to prevent the cheekpieces from pinching the horse’s face.

Q: How does a Level 1 bit differ from a Level 2?
A: A Level 1 bit, like this MB 01, is designed for horses just starting their training or those that need to learn to give to the bit. It features a curved mouthpiece with no port, providing a gentle "restrict and release" action that teaches the horse to respond to tongue pressure without harshness.
