Achieve a softer, more willing connection by eliminating the harsh nutcracker effect of traditional snaffles. The Myler MB 09 Dee Bit combines anatomical comfort with competition-legal design to help your horse relax their jaw and focus on your cues.

Engineered for horses in the foundational stages of training, this Level 1 bit utilizes a curved mouthpiece that contours to the horse's mouth, providing generous tongue clearance and even pressure distribution. The superior stainless steel construction is paired with strategic copper inlays, creating a durable, low-maintenance tool that naturally encourages salivation and bit acceptance through a "sweet" taste that horses prefer.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the perfect fit for my horse using the "Myler Gap" rule?
A: A correctly fitted Myler bit should show 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's lips; if it sits flush, it is too small. Because Myler bits often run 1/8" wider than advertised, riders who find their horse between sizes (e.g., between 5" and 5.25") typically find the smaller size provides the most accurate fit.

Q: Why is the Dee ring design preferred for young horses or dressage training?
A: The fixed Dee ring offers a more stable, direct-action signal than a loose ring, preventing the bit from sliding through the mouth and providing clear lateral aids. This stability is essential for young horses learning basic gaits and for dressage riders who require consistent contact and refined communication.
