It's particularly effective for young, green, or sensitive horses, and those learning basic obedience or who may be resistant to traditional snaffles.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Myler MB 02 ensure my horse's comfort?The Myler MB 02 prioritizes comfort through its unique "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel" mouthpiece. This design distributes pressure more evenly across the horse's tongue and bars compared to traditional three-piece mouthpieces. Its carefully curved shape wraps around the bars and lips, effectively preventing pinching and providing ample tongue relief. This allows the horse to swallow more freely, promoting greater acceptance and overall relaxation.What kind of control does the combination design offer?This combination bit is a highly versatile hybrid, ingeniously integrating features from a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore. It offers clear and progressive cues by engaging five different pressure points: the nose, chin, poll, and the mouthpiece itself. This multi-faceted approach allows the horse to respond to nose, chin, and poll pressure before the mouthpiece fully engages, encouraging a softer and more accepting response. This provides the rider with enhanced communication and various rein options for tailored levels of control without harshness, making it suitable for a wide range of riding needs.Why is the Sweet Iron mouthpiece beneficial for my horse?The Sweet Iron material of the mouthpiece is a key feature for promoting acceptance and comfort. When exposed to air, sweet iron naturally oxidizes (often referred to as rusting), creating a pleasant, sweet taste in the horse's mouth. This encourages increased salivation, which in turn leads to a softer jaw, relaxation, and ultimately, better and more willing acceptance of the bit. Many MB 02 mouthpieces also include a copper inlay, further enhancing this salivation-promoting effect.How does Independent Side Movement™ improve communication?The Myler MB 02 incorporates Independent Side Movement™ (ISM), a crucial feature for precise communication. ISM allows the rider to apply pressure to one side of the bit independently of the other. This enables more refined, isolated cues, which are highly beneficial for improving lateral bending, refining balance, or effectively lifting a horse's shoulder during training and performance. It allows for nuanced communication without sending confusing or conflicting signals to the horse.Is the Myler MB 02 suitable for my horse? What training level is it for?The Myler MB 02 is generally categorized as a Level 1 Myler bit, making it an excellent choice for a variety of horses. It's particularly well-suited for young or green horses just beginning their training, sensitive horses, or those learning basic gaits and obedience. It's also an effective option for horses that might be resistant to traditional snaffles or tend to be heavy in the hand, as it provides clear, direct signals primarily through comfortable tongue pressure, helping to establish a strong foundation for future communication and fostering a more relaxed connection.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-33025Ready to transform your ride?
