About this item
Highlights
- Unparalleled Comfort: The unique Comfort Snaffle (MB 03T) mouthpiece is curved to perfectly contour to your horse's mouth, providing essential tongue and palate relief while preventing the painful pinching common with traditional snaffles.
- Encourages Salivation: Crafted from polished Sweet Iron, this bit naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant, sweet taste, actively encouraging salivation for a softer, more supple mouth.
- Focus and Relaxation: A strategically placed Copper Roller in the center serves as a gentle pacifier, helping to keep nervous or busy-mouthed horses focused and relaxed during work.
- Clearer Communication with ISM: Benefit from Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing you to engage one side of the bit without affecting the other. This facilitates clearer, isolated cues for bending, lifting shoulders, and precise control.
- Moderate Leverage & Responsiveness: The 7" Stainless Steel Flat Shank provides a moderate degree of leverage and an indirect curb rein action, ideal for teaching your horse to give to the bit and break at the poll effectively.
- Myler Level 1 Design: Perfectly suited for young or green horses just beginning their training, or for horses learning basic cues and how to respond to tongue pressure. It's also an excellent choice for beginning riders.

Frequently Asked Questions Is this bit suitable for my horse's training level? Yes, absolutely! This specific bit is a Myler Level 1, meaning it's designed for young or green horses, those just starting training, or horses learning basic cues and how to respond to tongue pressure. It's also considered an excellent choice for beginning riders. How does this bit ensure my horse's comfort? The "Comfort Snaffle" mouthpiece is ingeniously curved to conform to the horse's mouth, providing essential tongue and palate relief and preventing pinching, unlike traditional snaffles that can collapse into a "V" shape. The "Sweet Iron" material naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste, encouraging salivation and a softer mouth. Furthermore, the "Copper Roller" in the center is designed to keep nervous or busy-mouthed horses focused and relaxed, acting as a pacifier, with copper inlays further promoting salivation. How does this bit improve communication with my horse? Myler bits are renowned for their Independent Side Movement (ISM), a significant feature that allows the rider to engage one rein and move one side of the bit without directly affecting the other. This helps in isolating cues, such as lifting a horse's shoulder, and providing clearer signals, which can be particularly beneficial for teaching bending and balance. As a Level 1 bit, it primarily utilizes gentle tongue pressure to encourage the horse to "give" to the bit and break at the poll. What is the action of the Flat Shank? The "Flat Shank" design provides a moderate degree of leverage and an indirect curb rein action. It's typically used in conjunction with a curb strap or chain to apply pressure to the poll and chin, in addition to the mouthpiece pressure on the tongue and bars. The 5-inch measurement refers to the mouthpiece width, which fits most horses.
