Here's how it stands out: Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the purpose of the 'hooks' on the Dee ring?The hooks on the Myler 06 English Dee Bit serve multiple purposes. They allow for two rein positions: you can attach the rein directly to the Dee ring for direct action, or to the hook for enhanced independent side movement, which helps in lifting the horse's shoulder. The hooks also assist in keeping the bit correctly positioned in the horse's mouth and can be used to attach an optional curb chain. It's important to note that using the hooks does not add leverage to the bit.How does the Mullen Low Port mouthpiece provide comfort?The Myler MB 06 mouthpiece features a low, wide port, typically between 1/4" to 3/4" high. This design is a Myler alternative to a traditional mullen, engineered to offer significant tongue relief. It allows your horse to comfortably elevate its tongue and swallow without any pressure on the palate. When rein pressure is applied, the bit primarily acts on the bars and lips, ensuring a comfortable and forgiving feel. The unique curve and wide center barrel also accommodate the tongue more effectively than standard mullen designs.What Myler bitting system level is this bit, and for what horses/riders is it suitable?The Myler 06 English Dee Bit with Hooks is classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This level is designed for horses that have progressed beyond basic training, demonstrating good self-control, and have started mastering skills such as bending, lead changes, and collection. It's also suitable for horses in advanced training that might occasionally show resistance, or those considered "broke" and responsive to nuanced cues. This bit is generally recommended for intermediate to advanced riders looking to refine their communication and offer their horse enhanced comfort.How does Independent Side Movement (ISM) benefit my horse?Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key feature of the Myler 06 mouthpiece, enabled by its unique center barrel design. This allows each side of the bit to move independently, meaning when you engage one rein, only that side of the mouthpiece responds. This capability allows the rider to give much clearer, more precise signals, isolating cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a particular shoulder without affecting the entire mouthpiece. The result is enhanced communication and a more responsive, comfortable horse.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-22065Give your horse the gift of comfort and clearer communication.
