Discover the thoughtful design that can transform your training and competitive success, fostering a harmonious partnership from the first stride.The core of this bit's effectiveness lies in its revolutionary MB 36 "Mullen Forward Tilt Low Ported Barrel" mouthpiece. This unique design provides essential tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and relax, while offering precise, comfortable pressure on the bars and lips when engaged. Crafted from sweet iron, which naturally oxidizes for a pleasant taste, and often featuring copper inlays, it actively encourages salivation for better acceptance and a softer, more supple mouth.Complementing the advanced mouthpiece, the classic loose ring design ensures Independent Side Movement (ISM). This crucial feature reduces the chance of your horse leaning on the bit and promotes a relaxed jaw, allowing for clearer lateral aids and encouraging consistent, comfortable contact. Experience a harmonious partnership built on clarity and comfort, making every ride more enjoyable and productive.Key Features & Benefits: USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Confidently compete knowing your bit meets all recognized competition standards (legal since USEF 1/2012, FEI 7/2016). Frequently Asked QuestionsIs the Myler MB 36 Loose Ring Snaffle legal for dressage competitions?Yes, absolutely. The Myler MB 36 Loose Ring Snaffle is widely approved and 100% legal for both USEF and FEI dressage competitions. It has been legal for USEF since January 2012 and for FEI since July 2016. However, always ensure you consult the most current rulebook of your specific organization for any updates, as variations (like combination bits with the MB 36 mouthpiece) might not be legal.How does the MB 36 mouthpiece design ensure my horse's comfort and promote relaxation?The MB 36 features a unique "Mullen Forward Tilt Low Ported Barrel" design. This mouthpiece has a wide, low port (typically 1 to 1.25 inches high) and is tilted forward at a 45-degree angle. This clever design creates significant space for your horse's tongue to elevate, swallow, and relax, making it particularly suitable for horses with a low palate or a large tongue. Pressure is applied primarily to the bars and lips, with minimal tongue pressure when engaged, preventing pinching and promoting acceptance.What Myler Level is this bit, and for which horses is it most suitable?The Myler MB 36 is classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit. This indicates it offers significant tongue relief and is ideal for horses with a solid training foundation that are ready for more refined communication. It's often recommended for horses that may be resistant, lean on the bit, or need encouragement to maintain a soft and rounded frame, offering more freedom than Level 1 or 2 bits.How does this bit enhance communication and responsiveness?The bit is engineered to improve the horse-rider connection significantly. Its Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows each side of the bit to work independently, enabling clearer and more precise signals for tasks like bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder. Furthermore, the sweet iron and copper inlay mouthpiece promotes salivation, encouraging a softer, more supple mouth and ultimately better acceptance and responsiveness to your aids.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-28366Ready to transform your dressage partnership?
