Myler MB 32-3 Mullen Barrel Bit - Level 2 Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay

Unlock a new level of responsiveness and eliminate resistance by providing your horse with the anatomically superior comfort of the Myler MB 32-3 Mullen Barrel Bit. Designed to foster a soft, accepting mouth, this bit transforms communication from a struggle into a subtle, harmonious conversation between horse and rider.

The Myler MB 32-3 is a precision-engineered tool crafted from sweet iron and copper to encourage natural salivation and relaxation through its unique chemical oxidation. Featuring the innovative Triple Barrel design, this Level 2 bit offers Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing you to give clear lateral cues and lift a shoulder without the painful "nutcracker" collapse of traditional jointed bits. It is the ideal choice for the progressing horse that has mastered the basics and is ready for more refined, nuanced aids in both English and Western disciplines.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Mullen Barrel Design (MB 32-3): Distributes pressure evenly across the tongue in a consistent "U" shape, preventing the mouthpiece from collapsing into a "V" and protecting the sensitive bars of the mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Allows each side of the bit to move independently, providing the rider with superior clarity for bending, collection, and lifting the shoulder.
• Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: Naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant taste that stimulates salivation and encourages the horse to maintain a soft, supple, and accepting mouth.
• Strategic Copper Inlays: Seamlessly integrated into the mouthpiece to further enhance the sweet taste and promote mouth activity for a more relaxed equine partner.
• Level 2 Training Progression: Specifically engineered for horses with a steady disposition and foundational training who are ready to transition to more sophisticated communication.
• Generous Myler Fit: This bit is designed to run approximately 1/4" larger than advertised (e.g., a 5" bit measures 5.25") to prevent the cheekpieces from rubbing the horse's face.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler bits are intentionally crafted with a "generous" fit, typically measuring 1/4" larger than the stated size. When fitting the MB 32-3, you should see a 1/8" to 1/4" gap of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's mouth to ensure the cheekpieces do not pinch or rub.

Q: Is the Myler MB 32-3 legal for all competitive disciplines?
A: While this bit is highly effective for trail riding, Western performance, and English schooling, the specific Mullen barrel design is generally not Dressage legal. We recommend checking your specific organization's rulebook for the most current equipment regulations.

Q: What makes the Triple Barrel design better than a standard jointed bit?
A: Unlike a single-jointed bit that collapses and pinches the tongue, the Triple Barrel Mullen stays in a curved shape. This provides more tongue relief and clearer communication through Independent Side Movement, making it much more comfortable for the horse.
