Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste, which, combined with strategic copper inlays, stimulates salivation and promotes immediate bit acceptance and relaxation. Independent Side Movement (ISM): This innovative feature allows each side of the bit to move independently, giving the rider the ability to provide precise, one-sided rein cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder. Stainless Steel 7" Flat Shank: Offers a classic, durable aesthetic with the stability and leverage needed for clear, reliable communication across various English and Western disciplines. Precision Myler Sizing: To ensure a perfect fit, these bits are manufactured 1/8" larger than the stated size (e.g., a 5" bit measures 5 1/8") to allow the curved mouthpiece to sit properly. Level 2 Training Design: Ideal for "green" horses or those transitioning from a Level 1 bit, providing the necessary tongue relief to encourage progress and refined lateral flexion.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for the Myler MB 04?A: Myler bits are unique; they are manufactured to be 1/8" larger than the stated size. For the best performance and to prevent pinching the lips or bars, you should look for a 1/8" to 1/4" gap on either side of the horse's mouth to allow the curved bars to function as intended.Q: Is this bit legal for competition and dressage?A: While the MB 04 mouthpiece is widely accepted for schooling in both English and Western disciplines, competition legality (especially in Dressage) often depends on the specific cheekpiece and the use of hooks. Always verify your specific association’s current rulebook regarding ports and independent side movement before competing.Item Number/SKU: 89-11045
