Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the MB 36 mouthpiece unique for horse comfort and communication?

The MB 36 mouthpiece features a forward-tilted, low 1-inch port and an ergonomically curved design. This intelligent engineering provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and relax its jaw. When the reins are engaged, it applies mild, even pressure primarily to the bars and lips, with only gentle tongue pressure, encouraging relaxation and a soft mouth. It's particularly beneficial for horses with low palates, those that resist traditional mullen bits, or experience pinching from standard designs.

How does the Independent Side Movement (ISM) benefit my horse's training?

The Myler MB 36 bit incorporates Independent Side Movement (ISM), a patented feature that allows each side of the bit to operate separately. This enables you to give clearer, more precise, and independent rein signals. The result is improved lateral flexion, better shoulder control, and a more nuanced understanding between horse and rider, leading to enhanced performance without affecting the opposite side of the horse's mouth.

Why is a Sweet Iron mouthpiece used, and what are its advantages?

The mouthpiece is crafted from sweet iron, a material that naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to moisture. This oxidation process creates a pleasing, sweet taste in your horse's mouth, which actively encourages salivation. Increased salivation promotes better acceptance of the bit, leading to a softer jaw, a more relaxed mouth, and a more willing partner. A subtle copper inlay further enhances this effect.

For what type of horse is the Myler MB 36 bit most suitable?

This bit is specifically categorized for Myler Level 2-3 horses. It's designed for horses with a solid foundation of training that are progressing in their discipline and can benefit from additional tongue relief. It's an excellent choice for horses that are "forward," tend to lean on the bit, or need gentle encouragement to "round up" and listen more attentively without the use of harsh pressure, promoting a softer contact and better self-carriage.

What aspects of the bit's design focus on overall horse comfort?

The Myler MB 36 features an ergonomically curved mouthpiece engineered to conform to your horse's unique mouth anatomy. It wraps gently around the bars and lips, effectively preventing pinching, and provides ample tongue space due to its forward-tilt port. This comprehensive focus on comfort aims to reduce resistance, allow for easier swallowing, and foster a more willing, cooperative horse, leading to a happier partnership.

How should I care for my Sweet Iron bit?

The natural oxidation of the sweet iron is intentional and contributes to the bit's effectiveness. To maintain your bit, simply rinse and dry it thoroughly after each use. This helps ensure even corrosion, prevents excessive build-up, and keeps the bit clean and ready for its next use, maintaining its pleasing taste for your horse.
