Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Myler MB 04 mouthpiece special for my horse's comfort?

The Myler MB 04 is a Level 2 mouthpiece featuring a gentle 1/4" low port that provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and move its tongue comfortably. The curved mouthpiece conforms ergonomically to prevent pinching, and the copper inlay combined with sweet iron encourages salivation and a soft, accepting mouth. This design promotes relaxation and greater acceptance of contact.

How does the Myler MB 04 enhance communication with my horse?

This bit incorporates Myler's patented Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) technology. This innovative feature allows you to engage one side of the bit without directly affecting the other. The result is more precise and clear signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, reducing confusion and fostering a more responsive partnership.

Is the Myler MB 04 suitable for all horses and competition?

Yes, the Myler MB 04 is highly versatile. It's an excellent choice for starting young horses, retraining mature horses, or those transitioning from a Level 1 bit, due to its comfort-oriented design and clear communication. Furthermore, it is consistently recognized as being legal for USEF Dressage and often for FEI Dressage. We always recommend consulting the most current rulebook of your specific equestrian organization to confirm eligibility.

How do I ensure the correct sizing and fit for this loose ring bit?

Proper fit is crucial for optimal performance and comfort. We recommend accurately measuring your horse's mouth. For a loose ring snaffle, aim for approximately 1/8" of the mouthpiece to protrude from each side of the horse's lips to prevent pinching and ensure the bit functions as intended. While Myler bits are generally true to size, some riders find the MB 04 can feel slightly larger due to its comfortable curvature.
