Unlock your horse’s true potential by replacing resistance with relaxation through the Myler MB 04’s innovative tongue-relief design. This Level 2 bit transforms subtle cues into clear communication, fostering a soft, responsive partnership that excels in both daily schooling and elite competition.

Meticulously engineered from high-quality stainless steel and sweet iron, the MB 04 features an ergonomic curve that wraps naturally around the bars and lips. The signature sweet iron mouthpiece is designed to oxidize over time, creating a pleasant taste that, paired with strategic copper inlays, encourages salivation and a more supple, accepting jaw.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 2 Mouthpiece: Features a 1/4" low port that provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow easily and stay relaxed under pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The patented central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise lateral cues for bending or lifting a shoulder without affecting the opposite side.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlays: The mouthpiece encourages salivation and bit acceptance through a sweet-tasting oxidation process and moisture-reactive copper inlays.
• Dressage Legal Design: Fully compliant with USEF (since 1/2012) and FEI (since 7/2016) dressage regulations, making it a reliable choice for competitive performance.
• Ergonomic Curved Bar: The wide, curved barrel is designed to distribute pressure evenly across the bars and lips, preventing the pinching and palate pressure common in traditional single-jointed snaffles.
• Premium Stainless Steel Loose Rings: The loose ring design provides a "floating" feel that allows the bit to self-adjust to the horse's mouth position, discouraging the horse from leaning on the bit.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for the Myler MB 04 Loose Ring?
A: Myler bits utilize "Myler Plus" sizing, measuring 1/8" larger than stated to ensure the mouthpiece clears the horse's lips. For this loose ring design, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the lips to prevent the rings from pinching and to allow the Independent Side Movement to function optimally.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse transitioning from a basic Level 1 snaffle?
A: Yes, the MB 04 is the quintessential Level 2 transitional bit. It is ideal for green horses with a steady disposition or those ready to progress to more refined aids, offering the tongue relief necessary to help the horse "find the bit" and relax at the poll.

Q: Why does the mouthpiece look like it is rusting?
A: That is the "Sweet Iron" doing its job! The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, which creates a sweet taste that horses find highly palatable, significantly increasing salivation and bit acceptance compared to standard stainless steel.
