Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit MB 32-3 Mullen Barrel - Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay - Level 2

Achieve a new level of responsiveness and relaxation with a bit designed to eliminate the "white noise" of traditional snaffles and foster clear communication. The Myler Western Dee Snaffle with the MB 32-3 mouthpiece provides the perfect balance of tongue relief and independent control for the horse ready to advance in their training.

Myler bits are precision-engineered with the horse’s anatomy in mind, utilizing a curved mouthpiece that follows the natural contours of the mouth to prevent the painful pinching associated with traditional designs. The combination of polished Sweet Iron and integrated Copper Inlays creates a palatable, "wet" mouth feel that encourages consistent salivation and a soft, supple jaw, making it an essential tool for riders focused on refinement and subtle cues.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 32-3 Mullen Barrel Design: Features a Level 2 mouthpiece that ensures even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars while offering mild tongue relief for advancing horses.
• Independent Side Movement: Allows the rider to lift one shoulder or flex one side of the horse independently without affecting the other side of the bit for superior communication.
• Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: Crafted to naturally oxidize and create a sweet taste that actively promotes salivation and encourages long-term bit acceptance.
• Strategic Copper Inlays: Integrated into the mouthpiece to enhance the "wet" feel, further relaxing the horse and improving their willingness to work.
• Western Dee Ring: Provides excellent lateral stability and direct rein action, ensuring the bit stays centered while offering a classic, traditional aesthetic.
• Anatomical Curve: The mouthpiece is curved to allow more room for the tongue, preventing the "nutcracker" effect and encouraging the horse to relax at the poll.
• Level 2 Performance: Specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation who are transitioning out of a basic snaffle and are learning to collect.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?
A: Unlike traditional bits that fit snugly against the lips, Myler bits require a "1/4-inch" clearance. You should look for 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit bar showing on each side of the horse's mouth to allow the curved mouthpiece to wrap comfortably around the bars without pinching.

Q: Why is my bit changing color or showing signs of rust?
A: This is a desired feature of the Sweet Iron material. The oxidation (rusting) process creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, which encourages salivation and leads to a softer, more responsive mouth.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a green horse just starting under saddle?
A: This is a Level 2 bit, meaning it is best suited for horses with a foundational understanding of bit pressure. It is the ideal choice for horses transitioning out of a basic Level 1 snaffle who are ready for more tongue freedom and refined cues.
