About this item
Highlights
- Unmatched Comfort: The unique curved mouthpiece gently wraps around your horse's bars and lips, significantly reducing pinching and providing ample tongue relief. This allows your horse to swallow more freely and relax its jaw.
- Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: Crafted from polished Sweet Iron, this bit naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture, creating a pleasant, sweet taste. This encourages salivation, promoting a softer, more responsive mouth and quicker bit acceptance.
- Black Steel Dee Rings: These classic rings not only offer a sophisticated look but also provide excellent stability to the mouthpiece. This ensures clear, consistent communication and effective leverage for precise turning aids.
- Copper Inlay: Strategically placed copper inlays further enhance salivation, contributing to a moist and responsive mouth that's eager to accept the bit.
- Ideal Transition Bit: Perfect for horses and riders moving away from harsh, traditional single-jointed bits. It introduces the benefits of Myler's comfort-focused design, preparing your horse for potentially higher-level Myler bits if desired.

The Myler 09 allows your horse to focus on your aids, not on discomfort.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat does the Myler 09 mouthpiece offer for my horse?The Myler 09 features a curved mouthpiece design that provides superior comfort by reducing pinching on the lips and bars, while also offering ample tongue relief. This makes it a significantly gentler alternative to traditional single-jointed bits, promoting a more relaxed and responsive horse.Is the Myler 09 considered a "true" Myler bit?While the Myler 09 incorporates the crucial curved design for enhanced comfort, it's considered a Level 1 transition bit within the Myler system. It lacks the "Independent Side Movement" feature found in higher-level Myler bits, but it's an excellent starting point for introducing your horse to Myler's comfort technology.Why does the Sweet Iron oxidize, and how should I care for it?Sweet Iron is designed to naturally oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture. This process creates a sweet taste that encourages salivation and helps your horse relax its jaw and accept the bit. The discoloration is normal and harmless. To care for it, simply rinse and dry the mouthpiece after each use to ensure even corrosion and prevent excessive buildup.What Myler Level is this bit, and for what horses is it suitable?This is a Level 1 Myler bit. It is ideal for horses in the early stages of training, those new to bit work, or sensitive horses requiring a gentle touch. It's also perfect for riders seeking to improve their horse's comfort and willingness to work into the bit.What are the benefits of the Dee Ring cheek piece?The Black Steel Dee Ring cheek piece provides excellent stability to the mouthpiece, which can be particularly beneficial for horses that are not yet confident in taking contact or for riders with less steady hands. Dee rings are also highly effective for reinforcing turning aids and ensuring clear, consistent communication.Product Details Upgrade your horse's comfort and your communication today.
