Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 04 Low Port Mouthpiece: Features a 1/4" port that offers significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and stay relaxed under pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Myler’s patented technology allows each side of the bit to move independently, providing precise cues for lifting shoulders, bending, and balancing.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that promotes salivation and better bit acceptance.

• Durable Stainless Steel: High-quality cheekpieces resist rust and wear, ensuring years of reliable performance in any discipline.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit legal for use in sanctioned Dressage competitions?
A: While the MB 04 mouthpiece is often permitted, the addition of hooks on the cheekpieces makes this specific bit illegal for USEF/USDF/FEI dressage competition. It is an excellent choice for schooling, jumping, and western riding.

Q: How do I ensure the Myler MB 04 fits my horse correctly?
A: Myler bits should follow the "1/8" Over" principle. You should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on either side of the horse's mouth to prevent the Dee rings from pinching and to allow the Independent Side Movement to function optimally.

Q: What is the benefit of using the hooks on the Dee rings?
A: Attaching your headstall to the top hook and reins to the bottom hook creates a mild indirect action (poll pressure). This stabilizes the bit's position and offers more control than a traditional direct-action snaffle.
