Myler MB 06 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit - Level 2-3 Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - Dressage Legal

Transform your horse's resistance into soft, willing communication with the Myler MB 06, the ultimate solution for riders seeking relief from restrictive tongue pressure. This FEI and USEF dressage-legal bit fosters a harmonious partnership by encouraging relaxation and acceptance through advanced biomechanical design.

Meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the MB 06 features a revolutionary low-ported mullen barrel that eliminates the painful "nutcracker" action found in traditional jointed snaffles. By distributing pressure evenly across the bars and lips while providing a generous 3/4" port for tongue freedom, this Level 2-3 bit allows your horse to swallow naturally and focus entirely on your subtle aids, making it an essential investment for both training and high-level competition.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Dressage Legal Performance: Fully compliant with USEF (since 2012) and FEI (since 2016) regulations, offering a trusted, competition-ready solution for the discerning dressage rider.
• 3/4" Low Port Mullen Barrel: Engineered to provide significant tongue relief, allowing the horse to elevate its tongue and swallow comfortably without experiencing direct palate pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The innovative central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to give precise, one-sided rein cues for superior bending and lateral work.
• Salivation-Promoting Copper Inlay: Features subtle copper strips that naturally stimulate salivation, encouraging a softer, more responsive mouth and improved bit acceptance.
• Level 2-3 Design: Specifically designed for horses with basic training who require more tongue relief or advanced horses showing resistance to lower-level mouthpieces.
• Premium Stainless Steel: Constructed for exceptional durability and rust resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance piece of equipment for your tack room.
• Loose Ring Action: The loose ring design prevents pinching and works in tandem with the ISM feature to help the horse seek and maintain a soft, consistent contact.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the perfect fit for my horse given Myler's unique sizing?
A: Myler bits are known for their generous fit. If your horse typically wears a 5.5", we recommend sizing down to a 5". For the Independent Side Movement to function optimally, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on either side of the horse's lips.

Q: What makes the MB 06 mouthpiece different from a standard snaffle?
A: Unlike a single-jointed snaffle that collapses into a "V" shape and pinches the tongue, the MB 06 mullen barrel maintains its shape. This protects the bars and tongue while the 3/4" port offers the relief necessary for a horse to relax its jaw and stay focused on the rider's cues.
