Key Features & Benefits Product Details Product Item Number (SKU): 89-31067 Frequently Asked Questions How does the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit distribute pressure, and is it considered a mild bit? The Myler MB 06 is designed as a humane communication tool, artfully dispersing pressure across five key points: the nose, chin, poll, and the mouth (specifically the bars and lips). This multi-point approach provides a progressive, softer signal, allowing your horse ample opportunity to respond to nose, chin, and poll pressure before the mouthpiece fully engages. Its mild leverage and non-collapsing mouthpiece contribute significantly to its overall mildness and clarity of signal, making it a thoughtful choice for refined communication. How does the MB 06 mouthpiece design ensure comfort and acceptance for my horse? Comfort is paramount in the MB 06's design. It features a Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel mouthpiece, which naturally oxidizes to create a palatable taste, encouraging salivation and acceptance. A subtle copper inlay further enhances this effect, promoting a softer mouth. The MB 06 mouthpiece has a wide, low port (¾" high) that provides crucial tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably without palate pressure. The curved mouthpiece also prevents pinching, ensuring a humane and comfortable experience for your equine partner. What makes the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit so versatile for communication and control, including Independent Side Movement? The MB 06 is a remarkably versatile communication tool due to its innovative combination design, which integrates elements of a ring bit, shank bit, and hackamore. This provides a balanced blend of leverage and direct rein action. Crucially, it features Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing the shanks to rotate independently. This enables precise, one-sided rein cues for nuanced movements like lifting shoulders, balancing, bending, and collection, enhancing lateral communication with unparalleled clarity and responsiveness. For which types of horses and training levels is the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit most suitable? The Myler MB 06 is ideal for horses at Myler Level 2-3. This includes horses with basic training, those demonstrating some balance and collection, and "finished" horses progressing in a specific discipline. It's an excellent transitional bit for horses moving from a snaffle to more refined bridle work, or for those advancing beyond Myler Level 2. It proves beneficial for sensitive horses needing more control, strong horses, young horses requiring clear signals, or experienced campaigners, as it consistently encourages relaxation and responsiveness. How should I properly fit and adjust the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit for optimal function? For the Myler MB 06 Combination Bit to function effectively and humanely, proper tension in the noseband and curb strap is crucial. The noseband should be adjusted to allow approximately two fingers' width between the noseband and your horse's face, ensuring the initial pressure points on the nose, chin,
