Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Myler MB 02 ensure my horse's comfort and distribute pressure effectively?The Myler MB 02 features a unique "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel" mouthpiece (MB 02) with gently curved bars, designed as a kind alternative to traditional three-piece snaffles. This anatomical design prevents pinching of the bars and lips. Instead of harsh, direct pressure, it rotates onto the tongue to apply pressure, teaching your horse to yield to the bit and break at the poll. The wide barrel also provides ample space for the horse's tongue, allowing comfortable swallowing and promoting more even pressure distribution than many traditional mouthpieces. This design also facilitates Independent Side Movement™ (ISM) for clearer signals.Which type of horse is best suited for the Myler MB 02 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit?The Myler MB 02 is classified as a Myler Level 1 bit, making it an excellent choice for horses at the beginning of their training journey. It's particularly well-suited for young, green, or inexperienced horses, or those learning basic gaits, transitions, and obedience. It primarily uses gentle tongue pressure, along with some bar pressure, to provide clear communication, making it ideal for horses needing to learn to yield to the bit effectively.How does the copper inlay promote salivation and acceptance from my horse?The Myler MB 02 is crafted with a copper inlay within its sweet iron mouthpiece. Sweet iron naturally oxidizes, creating a pleasant, palatable taste that most horses find appealing. The copper inserts are also thought to contribute to this sweet taste, actively encouraging salivation. A moist mouth is often associated with a softer, more relaxed jaw and a greater willingness to accept the bit, leading to a more harmonious response in the bridle.What are the benefits of the loose ring design, and are there any considerations?The loose ring cheekpiece allows the bit to move freely on the rings. This design helps prevent your horse from leaning or "fixing" onto the bit, promoting relaxation and encouraging independent rein action crucial for precise bending and lateral work. This freedom of movement offers clearer, more nuanced signals. A common concern is potential pinching; however, this can be mitigated by ensuring proper bit sizing, often recommending a slightly larger size than fixed-ring bits. While most horses adapt well, the constant movement might initially be a consideration for very young or anxious horses as they learn to find consistent contact.Is the Myler MB 02 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit legal for competition?Yes, riders can confidently use the Myler MB 02 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit with a copper inlay in competition. It is widely recognized as legal for various disciplines, including USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) dressage, FEI (Fédération Équestre Internationale) dressage, and USEA (United States Eventing Association) eventing dressage, provided it is used within a snaffle bridle.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-28138Mouthpiece: Myler MB 02 (Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel)Myler Level: 1Material: Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay (Sweet Iron)Ring Type: Loose RingSize: 6 inchesReady to
