Frequently Asked Questions How does the Myler MB 02 Combination Bit work and distribute pressure? The Myler MB 02 is an innovative "combination bit" that employs a humane multi-point pressure system. When rein pressure is applied, it first engages the horse's nose, poll, and jaw. Crucially, the mouthpiece then slides about an inch, providing a "pre-signal" that gives your horse an opportunity to respond to lighter pressure before the mouthpiece fully engages the tongue and bars. This unique design effectively disperses rein pressure over multiple areas, encouraging a softer response and clearer understanding of aids. What specific design features make the MB 02 mouthpiece comfortable for my horse, and what is "Sweet Iron"? The Myler MB 02 features the renowned "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel MB 02" mouthpiece, engineered for superior equine comfort. Its gently curved design wraps around the horse's bars and lips, actively preventing pinching, while the wide barrel distributes pressure more kindly and evenly over the tongue. This design, combined with Myler's patented Independent Side Movement™ (ISM), allows for ample tongue room and reduces resistance, promoting a more relaxed and accepting mouth. Additionally, the "Sweet Iron" material is designed to oxidize (rust) when exposed to moisture. This natural oxidation process creates a sweet taste that encourages salivation, further promoting a softer mouth and quicker acceptance of the bit by your horse. The resulting rust is entirely harmless and a natural part of the bit's function. To maintain its effectiveness, rinse your Myler Sweet Iron bit thoroughly after each use and allow it to air dry. Which type of horse or training level is best suited for the Myler MB 02 Combination Bit? The Myler MB 02 Combination Bit is primarily considered a Myler Level 1 bit, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of horses. It's particularly ideal for young or green horses just beginning their training, horses with sensitive mouths, or those that may benefit from a different communication approach, such as ex-racehorses. It's also highly effective for horses reluctant to come into a schooled outline or those needing a refresher in giving to the bit. Its design aims to encourage relaxation at the poll and a softer, more consistent response. How does the 3-Ring design enhance versatility and offer leverage options? The Myler MB 02's versatile 3-Ring design provides multiple rein attachment options, giving riders precise control over leverage and the bit's action. Attaching the reins to the main ring offers a direct, milder action, similar to a snaffle. Using the lower rings increases leverage, applying more poll pressure and encouraging the horse to drop its head and soften at the poll. This adaptability allows you to easily adjust the bit's influence to suit different training stages, riding styles, or to refine your cues as your horse progresses, making it a truly adaptable tool for any rider.
