The Myler MB03 Mouthpiece with Independent Side Movement.
A Level One bit:
Design: Curved mouthpiece with 1 1/4 inch jointed centre barrel with copper roller.
- Uses tongue pressure and bar pressure. Working mostly off of the tongue, but distributing the weight more evenly than traditional designs, with slight collaps on bars.
- Uses restrict and release action
- The Roller appeases busy-mouthed horses
Usage:The MB-03 is a nice alternative to the Snaffle or Bristol mouthpiece. The Independent Side Movement allows a rider to isolate one side and lift the shoulder. Working off the tongue and bars, the MB-03 is a good choice for young horses learning to bend and balance.
The full cheek is a ring with spindle where the mouthpiece is fixed onto the ring. Spindle top is bent away from ring to prevent rubbing.
When pressure is exerted on the reins, the same amount of pressure is exerted on the mouth and sends more of a direct signal than loose ring. Will not pinch or pull through mouth. The spindles should be attached to the bridle cheekpiece with the use of a bit keeper, to give slight poll pressure and lift the mouthpiece off the tongue. When reins are pulled back the rings tilt slightly forward and offer a subtle downward pressure on the poll.
One hook is available on Full Cheeks. The hook fixes the attachment of reins and allows the bit to work like a leverage bit. When the reins are pulled upward and backward the mouthpiece rolls downward and backward in the mouth while pulling downward on the poll.
Right from the start of training, the Myler Bitting System conveys your commands more effectively by "going soft" on your horse's mouth. With a special "no-pinch" barrel and curved mouthpiece that applies firm pressure—not pain—on the tongue, the Comfort Snaffle gives you and your horse a first taste of the superior communication at all levels of training that only Myler provides.
