About this item
Highlights
- Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: Crafted from polished Sweet Iron, this mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a unique, sweet taste that actively promotes salivation and encourages your horse's acceptance, leading to a softer, more responsive mouth.
- Mullen Barrel Design (MB 32-3 - Level 2): This innovative design ensures incredibly even pressure distribution across the tongue and bars. It offers mild tongue relief while maintaining consistent contact, enhancing comfort and control for horses that have some training and are ready for a more advanced bit.
- Copper Inlay: Strategically placed, the copper inlay further encourages salivation and contributes to a "wet" feel, improving the bit's acceptance and your horse's overall comfort and willingness to work.
- Western Dee Ring: Provides excellent stability and offers direct rein action, ensuring clear and immediate communication from your hands to your horse's mouth. Its classic Western styling also adds a touch of traditional elegance.

This means the bit curves gently over the horse's tongue, providing even pressure distribution while still offering mild tongue relief. "Level 2" in the Myler system indicates a bit designed for horses that have some training, understand basic aids, and are ready for a bit that offers more tongue freedom than a Level 1 but still provides gentle control. It's suitable for horses that respond well to tongue pressure and are learning to collect.How does the Sweet Iron mouthpiece benefit my horse?Sweet Iron is a highly effective material for horse bits because it naturally oxidizes (rusts) when exposed to air and moisture. This oxidation process creates a sweet, palatable taste that encourages salivation and helps to moisten the horse's mouth. Increased salivation leads to a softer jaw, more acceptance of the bit, and improved communication between horse and rider, making the horse more comfortable and responsive.What is the purpose of the Copper Inlay in the bit?The Copper Inlay is integrated into the Sweet Iron mouthpiece to further enhance salivation and improve the overall feel of the bit in the horse's mouth. Copper is known for its ability to encourage a "wet" mouth, which can make the bit more comfortable and acceptable for the horse, promoting relaxation and responsiveness.Why choose a Western Dee ring for this Myler Snaffle Bit?The Western Dee ring is a popular choice for snaffle bits due to its stability and direct rein action. The fixed nature of the Dee ring prevents the bit from sliding through the horse's mouth, providing a consistent feel and clear communication. Its shape ensures that pressure from the reins is applied directly to the mouthpiece, offering precise and immediate feedback, which is crucial for effective Western riding.Is the Myler Western Dee Snaffle Bit suitable for all horses?As a Level 2 Myler bit, the Western Dee Snaffle with Sweet Iron Mullen Barrel is designed for horses with a foundational understanding of bit pressure and basic training. It is an excellent choice for horses that are comfortable with mild tongue pressure and are ready to advance their communication. It might not be ideal for very green horses or those that require significant tongue relief due to sensitivity or training stage. Always consider your horse's individual needs and training level when selecting a bit.How should I care for my Myler Sweet Iron bit?To maintain your Myler Sweet Iron bit, simply rinse it thoroughly with water after each use to remove any debris and saliva. While the Sweet Iron will naturally oxidize, which is desired for its taste properties, you can dry it with a cloth to prevent excessive rust buildup in areas that don't contact the horse's mouth. The oxidation itself is harmless and part of the bit's design to encourage acceptance.Product Details:Product Item Number (SKU): 89-18315Add to Cart and experience the difference in comfort and communication with your horse today!
