Myler Pony Dee Snaffle Bit - 4 3/4" - Mullen Barrel Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - USEF/FEI Legal Level 2-3

Stop the "nutcracker" pinch and unlock your pony's true potential with a bit designed for ultimate tongue relief and refined communication. The Myler Pony Dee Snaffle (MB 06) transforms resistance into relaxation, providing the anatomical comfort your pony needs to excel in the show ring.

Engineered with the sophisticated Myler Level 2-3 Mullen Barrel, this bit is meticulously crafted from high-grade stainless steel for lifelong durability and hygiene. Its innovative Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows for precise lateral cues—enabling you to lift a single shoulder or flex without disturbing the opposite side of the mouth—fostering a more harmonious and responsive partnership than traditional jointed bits.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Mullen Barrel (MB 06) Mouthpiece: Provides significant tongue relief with a low port that distributes pressure evenly across the bars, eliminating the painful collapsing action of standard snaffles.
• Independent Side Movement: Features a central barrel that allows each side of the bit to move independently for refined, clear communication and superior lateral control.
• Integrated Copper Inlays: Actively encourages salivation and relaxation, creating a "sweet" taste that softens the mouth and improves overall bit acceptance.
• Pony-Proportioned Dee-Rings: Equipped with smaller 3-inch Dee-rings designed specifically for smaller heads, providing lateral stability and preventing the bit from sliding through the mouth.
• USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Fully compliant with competition standards (USEF 1/2012, FEI 7/2016), making it the premier choice for riders transitioning ponies into more refined work.
• 4 3/4" Pony Sizing: Specifically sized for ponies, featuring the signature Myler curve that accommodates the tongue and provides a more anatomical fit than flat mouthpieces.
• Level 2-3 Design: Ideal for ponies with a steady disposition that have mastered basic skills but show resistance to tongue pressure or have a low palate.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the Myler fit is correct for my pony?
A: Myler bits are curved for comfort and typically measure 1/8" wider than the advertised size. For a perfect fit, ensure you see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on each side of the pony's lips; if the Dee-ring sits flush against the skin, the bit is too small and may pinch.

Q: Why is this bit better for sensitive ponies than a traditional jointed snaffle?
A: Unlike a traditional snaffle that collapses and creates a "nutcracker" effect on the tongue and bars, the MB 06 Mullen Barrel remains stable. This provides consistent tongue relief and uses bar pressure to encourage the pony to relax at the poll and accept the contact.
