It is specifically noted as being legal for USEF dressage (as of 1/2012) and FEI dressage (as of 7/2016).

This design offers a slight port (typically 1 1/4 inch or 3/4 inch), providing specific tongue relief to your horse. It distributes pressure primarily to the bars and lips, encouraging your horse to relax its jaw and accept the bit. The copper inlay is incorporated to promote salivation, further encouraging a soft and supple mouth.How does this bit improve communication with my horse?The Myler MB 06 is expertly designed to foster superior communication. Its construction encourages your horse to accept the bit more readily, leading to improved responsiveness and lighter aids. A key aspect is the potential for Independent Side Movement (ISM), allowing riders to apply clearer, more isolated rein cues for precise bending, lateral work, and lifting the horse's shoulder, resulting in a more refined and responsive partnership.What level of horse is the Myler MB 06 suitable for?The Myler MB 06 is classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This makes it an excellent choice for horses with basic training, those demonstrating good self-control, and individuals who can handle more tongue relief. It's also suitable for more advanced horses with challenging dispositions or those showing resistance to a Myler Level 2 mouthpiece, as it offers a slightly different distribution of pressure and encourages further relaxation.What are the benefits of the loose ring design?The loose ring design offers several key benefits for your horse. It allows the mouthpiece to move freely around the rings, which helps to discourage your horse from bracing or grabbing the bit. This independent movement also enables the horse to position the bit comfortably in its mouth, promoting relaxation and encouraging a softer response to your aids. It provides a more immediate release of pressure when rein contact is softened, contributing to a more consistent connection.How do I ensure proper fit for this 6-inch bit?While this Myler MB 06 bit comes in a standard 6-inch mouth size, ensuring proper fit is crucial for any bit. For loose ring snaffles, a general guideline is to ensure that the horse's lips clear the bit ring holes by approximately 1/8 inch on each side. This prevents pinching and allows the rings to move freely
