Product Details Product Item Number (SKU): 89-28044 Frequently Asked Questions What Myler Level is the MB 04, and who is it suitable for? The Myler MB 04 is classified as a Myler Level 2 bit. It is an excellent choice for a wide range of horses, including green horses needing a comfortable start, those in retraining, horses transitioning from a Myler Level 1 bit or traditional single-jointed snaffles, and even experienced horses benefiting from its unique design for improved responsiveness and relaxation. How does the MB 04 mouthpiece ensure comfort and tongue relief for my horse? The MB 04 features the "Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel" mouthpiece, which is designed with a gentle 1/4" low port. This specific port allows crucial tongue relief, enabling your horse to swallow comfortably and relax its jaw. The gently curved bars of the mouthpiece also wrap the bars and lips of the mouth without pinching, offering maximum tongue space and even pressure distribution. The strategic copper inlay further encourages salivation for a softer mouth. What is Independent Side Movement (ISM), and how does it benefit my riding? Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a unique, patented design feature of Myler bits, including the MB 04. It allows each side of the bit's mouthpiece to move independently from the other. This empowers the rider to apply incredibly clear and precise signals for specific actions like bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder, without causing confusion to the entire mouthpiece for the horse. This leads to enhanced communication and a more responsive partner. Is the Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit legal for dressage? Yes, the Myler MB 04 Loose Ring Snaffle Bit is generally recognized as USEF and FEI Dressage legal. However, it is always recommended to consult your specific competition organization's official rulebook for the most current regulations, especially for different levels or eventing disciplines (e.g., USEA eventing dressage), as rules can occasionally be subject to interpretation or change. Does the Myler MB 04 run true to size, and how should I measure for the correct fit? It's important to note that the Myler MB 04 design tends to run slightly larger than standard; for example, a bit labeled as 5" might actually measure closer to 5 1/4". To ensure the correct fit and prevent issues like pinching or the bit slipping sideways, we strongly advise carefully measuring your horse's mouth or the bit itself before purchase. When in doubt, it can be beneficial to size down slightly or measure an existing bit that fits your horse well.
