It's ideal for horses that have completed basic training, demonstrate good self-control, and are ready for more tongue relief than lower-level bits provide. It's also suitable for horses in advanced training with a challenging disposition or those showing resistance to a Level 2 mouthpiece, offering a balance of significant tongue relief with gentle tongue pressure.What makes the Low Port Mullen Barrel design comfortable and effective for communication?The MB06 mouthpiece is a curved, solid bar featuring a wide barrel with a low port (typically 1/4" to 3/4" high). This design provides ample tongue relief without applying pressure to the horse's palate. A crucial feature is Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM), where the central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently. This enables the rider to give precise, one-sided cues for better shoulder control and lateral flexion, while the overall curved design helps prevent pinching of the lips and bars.What are the benefits of the materials used in this bit?This Myler Bridoon bit is made of durable stainless steel, while the mouthpiece often features "sweet iron" with a copper inlay. Sweet iron naturally oxidizes (rusts harmlessly), creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and relaxation in the horse's mouth. The copper inlay further promotes salivation, contributing to a softer, more accepting mouth and improved responsiveness.Is this bit legal for equestrian competitions like dressage?Yes, the Myler MB06 mouthpiece, with its low port (under 30mm), is widely considered USEF and FEI Dressage Legal when used as a bridoon. However, always check the most current rulebooks for your specific discipline and governing body to ensure compliance.
