Experience a breakthrough in your horse's responsiveness by replacing resistance with the ergonomic comfort of the Myler MB 03 Comfort Snaffle. This Level 1 bit is the ultimate foundational tool, designed to soothe "busy" mouths and provide the clear, lateral communication necessary for a soft and willing equine partner.Masterfully crafted from high-quality stainless steel with a sweet iron mouthpiece, this bit utilizes Myler’s revolutionary Independent Side Movement (ISM) to allow for precise, isolated cues. The innovative design encourages your horse to relax into the contact, using a combination of sweet-tasting oxidation and a central copper roller to promote salivation and focus during every training session.Key Features & Specifications: MB 03 Level 1 Mouthpiece: Specifically engineered for young or green horses, this "Comfort Snaffle" features a curved design that protects the bars and lips from pinching while teaching basic cues. Independent Side Movement (ISM): An internal bushing allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling you to lift one shoulder or provide lateral flexion without affecting the opposite side of the mouth. Sweet Iron with Copper Roller: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation, while the central copper roller pacifies nervous horses and helps them stay relaxed. Western Dee with Hooks: Integrated slots for the headstall and reins stabilize the bit and provide a "pre-signal" for more nuanced communication without adding leverage. 5-Inch Precision Fit: Designed to measure approximately 5 1/8", providing the essential 1/8" to 1/4" of clearance on each side of the mouth for a perfect, rub-free fit on average-framed horses. Fixed Cheek Advantage: The stable Western Dee design prevents the bit from pulling through the mouth or pinching the sensitive corners of the lips, offering superior security over loose-ring alternatives. Durable Stainless Steel Construction: The cheekpieces are built from premium stainless steel, ensuring this bit remains a long-lasting, rust-resistant staple in your tack room for years to come.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do the "hooks" on the Western Dee improve my horse's performance?A: The hooks fix the headstall and reins in a specific position, which prevents the bit from sliding and provides a "pre-signal" to the horse. This allows for more stable, direct communication and the ability to use indirect rein actions with greater precision.Q: Is the MB 03 mouthpiece suitable for a horse that is sensitive or "mouthy"?A: Yes, it is an ideal choice. The curved mouthpiece prevents the "nutcracker" action of traditional snaffles, and the central copper roller provides a quiet distraction for nervous horses, helping them relax their jaw and accept the bit more readily.Item Number/SKU: 89-19035
