Myler MB 36 Loose Ring Bit - Dressage Legal Copper Inlay 1" Port - Multiple Sizes

Transform your horse's connection and eliminate resistance with a bit designed to prioritize significant tongue relief and crystal-clear communication. The Myler MB 36 Loose Ring Bit is the ultimate solution for dressage riders seeking a soft, responsive partner who moves with confidence and unwavering focus.

Engineered as a Level 2-3 mouthpiece, this bit features Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement (ISM) and a 1-inch high, 45-degree forward-tilted port. This sophisticated design allows for precise lateral aids while ensuring the horse can swallow naturally, fostering a relaxed jaw and a more harmonious, supple connection in the dressage arena.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: Specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation that may still lean on the bit or exhibit anxiety under contact.
• Forward-Tilted Port: Features a 1" (14mm) high port tilted forward at a 45-degree angle to provide maximum tongue clearance and prevent painful palate pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The internal bushing allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving you a clearer, more precise signal for lateral work.
• Dressage Legal Status: Fully compliant with USEF (1/2012) and FEI (7/2016) regulations, allowing you to compete with absolute peace of mind.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: High-quality stainless steel with copper inlays encourages salivation, promoting a softer mouth and better bit acceptance.
• Loose Ring Action: The non-interfering loose ring design discourages leaning and allows the mouthpiece to adjust to the horse's head position for a lighter feel.
• Curved Bar Design: The ergonomically curved bars wrap comfortably around the horse's jaw, reducing the "nutcracker" effect and preventing lip pinching.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am choosing the correct size for a Myler bit?
A: Unlike traditional bits, Myler bits require a specific fit where 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit is visible on either side of the mouth. This extra width is essential to allow the curved bars to wrap comfortably around the jaw; if your horse is between sizes, we always recommend sizing up to ensure this necessary clearance.

Q: Why is the MB 36 particularly effective for "busy" or resistant horses?
A: Many horses become "busy" in the mouth or go behind the vertical to escape tongue pressure. The MB 36's forward-tilted port removes that pressure, allowing the horse to swallow and relax, while the loose rings prevent them from "fixing" or leaning on the rider's hand.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting its dressage career?
A: This is an excellent "step up" bit for horses that have mastered the basics but need more tongue relief to progress. It offers a more refined level of communication than a standard Level 1 bit, making it perfect for horses moving into more collected and lateral work.
