This FEI and USEF dressage-legal bit fosters a harmonious partnership by encouraging relaxation and acceptance through advanced biomechanical design.Meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the MB 06 features a revolutionary low-ported mullen barrel that eliminates the painful "nutcracker" action found in traditional jointed snaffles.

Independent Side Movement (ISM): The innovative central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to give precise, one-sided rein cues for superior bending and lateral work. Salivation-Promoting Copper Inlay: Features subtle copper strips that naturally stimulate salivation, encouraging a softer, more responsive mouth and improved bit acceptance. Level 2-3 Design: Specifically designed for horses with basic training who require more tongue relief or advanced horses showing resistance to lower-level mouthpieces. Premium Stainless Steel: Constructed for exceptional durability and rust resistance, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance piece of equipment for your tack room. Loose Ring Action: The loose ring design prevents pinching and works in tandem with the ISM feature to help the horse seek and maintain a soft, consistent contact.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do I ensure the perfect fit for my horse given Myler's unique sizing?A: Myler bits are known for their generous fit. If your horse typically wears a 5.5", we recommend sizing down to a 5". For the Independent Side Movement to function optimally, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on either side of the horse's lips.Q: What makes the MB 06 mouthpiece different from a standard snaffle?A: Unlike a single-jointed snaffle that collapses into a "V" shape and pinches the tongue, the MB 06 mullen barrel maintains its shape. This protects the bars and tongue while the 3/4" port offers the relief necessary for a horse to relax its jaw and stay focused on the rider's cues.Item Number/SKU: 89-28066
