Myler rates the MB 03 as Level 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MB 03 is Myler's alternative to a French link or lozenge, with a copper roller added. The curved sweet iron mouthpiece wraps around the bars and lips rather than pinching them, and its center barrel applies about the same tongue pressure as a three-piece mouth but spreads it more gently. That barrel also gives Myler's Independent Side Movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HBT is a short, slightly curved stainless steel shank with a flat-top purchase. It is an indirect-action bit with mild leverage on the mouth, chin and poll, used with a curb strap on the purchase, and the short shank makes grazing easier on the trail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Riders Choose the Myler MB 03\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel 1 mouthpiece\u003c\/strong\u003e — the MB 03 rotates onto the tongue and applies tongue pressure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel and copper roller\u003c\/strong\u003e — spreads tongue pressure more gently than a standard three-piece.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent Side Movement\u003c\/strong\u003e — the barrel lets each side of the bit work on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSweet iron\u003c\/strong\u003e — oxidizes and encourages salivation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShort HBT shank\u003c\/strong\u003e — mild leverage and easier grazing on the trail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMyler\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMouthpiece\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMB 03 comfort snaffle with copper roller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMouth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 3\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShank\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\" stainless steel HBT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterials\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSweet iron mouthpiece, copper roller, stainless steel shank\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMyler level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAction\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndirect, used with a curb strap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Do I need a curb strap?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
