Frequently Asked Questions What makes the Myler MB 04 mouthpiece so comfortable and effective for my horse? The Myler MB 04, a Level 2 bit, prioritizes your horse's comfort and clear communication. Its primary comfort feature is a 1/4" low port, which provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and relax. The mouthpiece is also curved with a wide barrel, ergonomically crafted to wrap the bars and lips without pinching, while offering ample space for the horse's tongue. A key performance feature is its Independent Side Movement (ISM), which allows each side of the bit to move independently for clearer, more precise signals, while the copper inlay encourages salivation and acceptance. How does the Myler MB 04 truly improve communication between horse and rider? The Myler MB 04 dramatically improves communication through its unique design, particularly the patented Independent Side Movement (ISM). This innovative feature allows you to apply precise, isolated cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a horse's shoulder, without affecting the other side of the mouth. This leads to significantly clearer communication, reducing confusion for your horse and fostering a more responsive partnership. Which horses are best suited for the Myler MB 04 bit? The Myler MB 04 is an exceptionally versatile Myler Level 2 transitional bit, making it suitable for a wide range of horses. This includes green or young horses with steady dispositions, horses transitioning from Myler Level 1 bits, those undergoing re-schooling, or experienced horses new to the Myler system. It’s designed for horses ready to progress to more refined aids and learn to give to the bit, aiming to achieve relaxation, a soft mouth, and a good frame. Is the Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Snaffle bit legal for competitive dressage? Yes, absolutely! The Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit is widely recognized and accepted as being legal for competitive disciplines. It is fully USEF Dressage legal (since 1/2012) and also FEI Dressage legal (since 7/2016). You can confidently use this bit in both national and international dressage competitions. How do I ensure correct sizing and prevent pinching with the loose ring design? Correct sizing is paramount for the bit's comfort and effectiveness. It's crucial that the bit is neither too long, which can cause it to slip sideways, nor too short, leading to uncomfortable pinching. For loose ring snaffles like the MB 04, it is generally recommended that they be 1/4" to 1/2" larger than fixed-ring bits to provide adequate space and prevent pinching. When
