Myler MB 29 Cathedral Port Horse Bit - Sweet Iron 5" Mouthpiece Level 2-3 Stainless Steel

Achieve a new level of collection and refinement by transitioning your horse into a bit designed for ultimate tongue relief and sophisticated communication. The Myler MB 29 is the precision tool you need to eliminate resistance and foster a soft, willing partnership through clear, nuanced signals.

Engineered with the Myler Level 2-3 philosophy, this bit bridges the gap between intermediate training and advanced performance by utilizing a unique anatomical curve and premium materials. The combination of naturally oxidizing sweet iron and durable stainless steel ensures a mouthpiece that horses actively accept, while the Independent Side Movement allows for the lateral precision required for high-level maneuvers.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 1 ½" Cathedral Port: Provides significant tongue relief in a neutral position and applies precise palate pressure when engaged to encourage the horse to break at the poll.
• Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: This naturally oxidizing material develops a sweet taste that stimulates salivation, promoting a moist, relaxed, and accepting mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Features a central barrel that allows each side of the bit to move independently for superior lateral flexion and shoulder control.
• Level 2–3 Design: Specifically tailored for intermediate to finished horses that have established self-control but require more sophisticated signals for collection.
• Stainless Steel Cheekpieces: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel for maximum durability, ensuring your bit remains a reliable part of your tack room for years.
• Anatomical Curve: The mouthpiece is curved to follow the natural contours of the horse's mouth, distributing pressure more evenly than traditional straight bits.
• Refined Communication: Designed for experienced riders with soft hands to achieve advanced movements and a more consistent head set.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I have the correct size for a Myler bit?
A: Because of the unique anatomical curve, Myler bits should not fit flush against the lips. You should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit on each side of the horse's mouth; if your horse measures exactly 5", many riders find a 5 ¼" provides the most comfortable fit.

Q: Is the Cathedral Port too harsh for my horse?
A: The MB 29 is a precision tool, not a harsh one. While the 1 ½" port reaches the sensitive palate when the reins are engaged, it offers more tongue relief than almost any other bit in a neutral position, making it ideal for horses that resist tongue pressure but respond well to light, sophisticated signals.

Q: Why is the mouthpiece changing color or showing rust?
A: This is a feature of the Sweet Iron material. The oxidation (rust) creates a sweet taste that horses love, encouraging them to salivate and "play" with the bit, which leads to a softer, more responsive mouth.
