Experience the difference a thoughtful bit can make in your training and riding journey.The Myler MB 04 isn't just a bit; it's a sophisticated communication tool. Its unique combination design works by dispersing rein pressure across multiple points – the horse's nose, chin, poll, and mouthpiece – allowing your horse to understand cues more clearly and respond with greater ease. The goal? A softer, more accepting mouth and a harmonious partnership.Key Features for Unrivaled Performance: Each Myler MB 04 Combination Bit comes complete with a high-quality black leather noseband and a synthetic black curb strap, ensuring you have everything you need for immediate use and optimal performance straight out of the box.Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does the Myler MB 04 Combination Bit achieve effective communication?The Myler MB 04 is engineered for clear, progressive communication. It utilizes five distinct pressure points: the horse's nose, chin, poll, and the mouthpiece within the mouth. This unique design allows your horse an opportunity to respond to cues from the nose, chin, and poll before the mouthpiece fully engages. This dispersed pressure, often combined with Independent Side Movement, leads to more nuanced communication and a lighter, more accepting response from your horse.What makes the MB 04 mouthpiece so comfortable for my horse?The MB 04 is a "Low Port Comfort Snaffle" (Myler Level 2), specifically designed for your horse's well-being. It features a small 1/4-inch port that provides essential tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and move its tongue comfortably. Additionally, the mouthpiece is carefully curved to wrap around the bars and lips, preventing common pinching and providing ample space for the tongue, promoting a more relaxed and accepting mouth.Why is Sweet Iron beneficial for my horse, and how should I maintain it?The Sweet Iron component of the Myler MB 04 bit is highly beneficial because it naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to air and moisture. This oxidation process, which is completely harmless to horses, creates a sweet taste in your horse's mouth, actively encouraging salivation and greater bit acceptance. This is an intended feature, not a defect. To maintain, simply rinse the bit after each use and allow it to air dry. Copper inlays are also included to further enhance this desirable effect.Which horses are best suited for the Myler MB 04 Combination Bit?The Myler MB 04 is classified as a Myler Level 2 bit, making it incredibly versatile and suitable for a broad range of horses. It's an excellent choice for green horses just starting their training, those transitioning from a Level 1 mouthpiece, or horses needing re-schooling. It's also ideal for horses previously ridden in a single-jointed mouthpiece who could benefit from more tongue relief and a more consistent signal. This bit offers moderate control and is designed for horses that appreciate gentle guidance and a comfortable, reassuring mouthpiece.How versatile is this combination bit, and what are my rein options?The Myler MB 04 Combination Bit offers remarkable versatility, adapting to various disciplines and training needs. Its 3-ring design allows you to choose different rein positions to achieve either direct rein action or introduce mild leverage. This makes it suitable for a wide array of activities, including jumping, cross-country, schooling dressage, and Western training. The integrated noseband and chin strap further contribute to its ability to apply effective, indirect pressure, allowing for nuanced communication and control.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-31047Add to Cart and
