Transform your horse's resistance into soft, willing communication with a bit designed to prioritize anatomical comfort and refined performance. The Myler MB 36 Curb Bit is the ultimate tool for riders seeking a deeper connection through a revolutionary design that encourages relaxation and focus.

Expertly engineered for the progressing horse, this bit features Myler’s signature Level 2-3 design, bridging the gap between basic control and advanced finesse. By utilizing a combination of high-quality stainless steel shanks and a sweet iron mouthpiece, it offers a durable yet palatable experience that rewards a soft hand while providing the clear, independent signals necessary for high-level Western performance or English schooling.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Forward Tilt Ported Barrel: The 1" wide port is tilted forward at a 45-degree angle, providing generous tongue relief when the horse is relaxed and gentle pressure to encourage "breaking at the poll" when the reins are engaged.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Each side of the bit moves independently, allowing the rider to isolate one side of the mouth to lift a shoulder or flex the neck without affecting the opposite side.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that promotes salivation and a "soft" mouth, while strategically placed copper inlays further enhance bit acceptance.
• Myler Level 2-3 Suitability: Specifically crafted for horses with a basic understanding of aids who are ready for more sophisticated communication and refined, indirect signals.
• Anatomical Design for Sensitive Horses: The low-port barrel prevents uncomfortable palate pressure, making it the ideal choice for horses with low palates, large tongues, or those who are "busy" in the mouth.
• Durable Stainless Steel Shanks: These robust shanks ensure long-term reliability and a polished, professional appearance for reining, ranch work, or jumping.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am choosing the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler bits follow the "1/8-Inch Rule," meaning they are manufactured slightly wider than the stated size to prevent pinching. For a perfect fit, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on either side of the horse's mouth before the shank begins; if your horse is between sizes, always size up.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or showing "rust"?
A: This is a feature, not a flaw! The Sweet Iron mouthpiece is designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture, which creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, encouraging them to salivate and stay relaxed during work.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse that is sensitive to tongue pressure?
A: Yes, the MB 36 is specifically designed for tongue relief. The forward-tilted port allows the horse to swallow and relax when the reins are loose, making it excellent for horses that resist solid mouthpieces or have large tongues.
