Myler Medium English Dee with Hooks 06 Mouthpiece - 6 inch Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay

Find the Perfect Balance of Control and Comfort with the Myler MB 06

If you’ve noticed your horse resisting the bridle or getting "heavy" in the hand, the Myler Med Eng Dee w/Hooks 06 (MB 06) might be the solution your barn has been missing. Designed as a Level 2-3 bit, it moves away from the constant tongue pressure of a traditional snaffle, offering a 3/4" port that gives the tongue room to move while still providing clear, direct signals when you need them.

This Myler bit isn't just about relief; it's about precision. The unique center barrel allows for Independent Side Movement, meaning you can lift one shoulder or guide a turn without the "nutcracker" effect or affecting the opposite side of the horse's mouth. It’s a sophisticated tool built for the long haul, helping you refine your communication from the arena to the trail.

Key Benefits for Horse and Rider

• Superior Tongue Relief: The MB 06 mouthpiece features a low port mullen barrel that protects the tongue from constant pressure, encouraging a more relaxed and willing headset.
• Independent Side Movement: The center barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving you the ability to isolate one side of the horse for better lateral control and shoulder placement.
• Adjustable Leverage: Integrated hooks in the Dee ring allow you to fix the bit's position and add mild poll pressure, providing extra "brakes" and stability when schooling or jumping.
• Promotes a Soft Mouth: High-grade stainless steel is paired with copper inlays that naturally stimulate salivation, keeping your horse’s mouth moist and responsive to your cues.
• Stable Lateral Support: The classic Dee ring design prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth and provides a steady feel against the horse’s face for clearer steering.

Best For

Riders of large-framed horses, Warmbloods, or Draft crosses looking for a transition bit that offers significant tongue relief and lateral stability for schooling, jumping, or eventing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Myler Med Eng Dee w/Hooks 06 legal for Dressage competition?

While the MB 06 mouthpiece itself is often permitted in various disciplines, the addition of "Hooks" on the Dee ring makes this specific bit illegal for USEF/USDF Dressage phases. It is, however, an excellent tool for schooling and training at home to establish a better connection.

Q: How should a 6-inch Myler bit fit my horse?

Myler bits are designed to fit slightly wide to prevent pinching. For this 6-inch size, you should see about 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's lips. This size is specifically intended for horses with exceptionally wide jaws, such as Draft crosses or large Warmbloods.

Q: What is the purpose of the copper inlays?

The copper inlays in the Myler Med Eng Dee w/Hooks 06 are designed to create a pleasant taste and stimulate salivation. This keeps the mouth "wet," which helps the bit move smoothly and encourages the horse to accept the bit more readily.
