Myler MB 32-3 Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel Horse Bit with Copper Inlay, Level 2, ISM - 5" Mouth

Transform your horse's responsiveness and comfort with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure resistance and promote a soft, relaxed jaw. The Myler MB 32-3 offers the perfect balance of moderate control and sophisticated communication, making it the ultimate tool for horses ready to progress beyond basic training.

Crafted with the signature Myler Level 2 philosophy, this bit features a Sweet Iron mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant taste, encouraging salivation and bit acceptance. Unlike traditional solid mullen bits that can pinch or collapse, the innovative triple-barrel construction provides a stable, curved surface that respects the horse's anatomy while allowing for the precise, independent cues necessary for refined schooling and lateral work.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Innovative Triple-Barrel Mullen Design: Functions as a flexible bar when relaxed to allow for easy swallowing and transforms into a solid, curved bar when engaged to distribute pressure evenly across the tongue, bars, and lips.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Features specialized barrel joints that allow each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to isolate aids for lifting a shoulder, guiding a bend, or correcting a lean.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to produce a sweet taste that promotes salivation and a softer mouth, while strategically placed copper inlays further enhance acceptance and focus.
• Myler Level 2 Mouthpiece: Specifically engineered for horses with basic training or those transitioning from Level 1, providing moderate tongue relief and subtle, spread-out pressure for clearer communication.
• Anatomical 5" Mouth Size: Designed with a forward curve to accommodate the tongue's natural position, ensuring a comfortable fit for horses requiring a standard 5-inch width.
• Enhanced Communication: The MB 32-3 design prevents the bit from collapsing or "nutcrackering," ensuring your horse remains confident and attentive to even the slightest rein aids.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the Myler MB 32-3 fits my horse correctly?
A: To allow the Independent Side Movement to function properly, follow the "Myler gap" rule: the bit should be wide enough that 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece is visible on each side of the horse's lips. If the bit is too snug against the cheeks, the barrel action will be restricted and may cause discomfort or rubbing.

Q: Is this bit legal for USEF or USDF Dressage competition?
A: No, the Myler MB 32-3 mouthpiece, particularly when paired with common cheekpieces, is generally not legal for USEF, USDF, or FEI Dressage competitions. It is, however, an exceptional training tool for schooling, Western disciplines, and riders seeking a more nuanced connection with their horse.

Q: Why does the mouthpiece look like it is rusting?
A: This is a natural and intentional process! The Sweet Iron material is designed to oxidize (rust) to create a sweet flavor that horses love, which encourages salivation and a more supple, responsive mouth. Simply wipe the bit after use to maintain even oxidation.
