Transform your horse's responsiveness and eliminate resistance with a bit designed to provide ultimate tongue relief and clarity of aids. The Myler MB 06 Loose Ring Snaffle is the premier choice for dressage riders seeking a soft, consistent connection without the restrictive "nutcracker" action of traditional bits.Engineered from high-quality stainless steel and featuring Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement (ISM), this bit allows for precise, one-sided rein aids that help lift the shoulder and refine lateral work. The anatomical curve and 1 1/4-inch forward-tilted port are meticulously crafted to accommodate the horse's tongue, encouraging a relaxed jaw, natural swallowing, and a more focused equine partner during advanced training and competition.Key Features & Specifications: USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Fully compliant with USEF (2012) and FEI (2016) regulations, ensuring you are show-ring ready for any sanctioned event. 1 1/4" Low Port Mullen Barrel: The unique MB 06 design provides significant tongue relief while preventing painful palate pressure, fostering a relaxed and accepting mouth. Independent Side Movement (ISM): The central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling riders to give clear, isolated signals for better bending and collection. Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Strategically placed copper inlays promote natural salivation, leading to a softer, more supple response and improved bit acceptance. Myler Level 2-3 Training: Specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation who require more tongue relief or those who have become resistant to traditional single-jointed snaffles. Loose Ring Action: The 5-inch stainless steel rings allow the mouthpiece to move freely, providing an immediate release of pressure the moment the rider softens their hand. Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Built for professional use, this bit offers exceptional strength and superior resistance to corrosion for long-lasting performance.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do I ensure the correct fit with the Myler "Gap" for this loose ring bit?A: Myler bits are designed to run slightly large to allow for the "Myler Gap." For this 5-inch loose ring, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on either side of the mouth to ensure the rings do not pinch the horse's lips, making this size ideal for horses that measure exactly 5 inches.Q: Why is the MB 06 better for horses that are "behind the bit" or resistant?A: Many horses resist bits that collapse on the bars or tongue. The MB 06 uses a curved Mullen barrel and a low port to distribute pressure evenly and provide tongue relief, which encourages the horse to relax their jaw and stay confidently connected to the contact.Item Number/SKU: 89-28065
