Eliminate the "nutcracker" struggle and unlock a softer, more willing connection with a bit designed to prioritize your horse’s tongue relief and swallowing freedom. The Myler MB36 Loose Ring Snaffle transforms communication by offering a 45-degree forward-tilted port that encourages relaxation and self-carriage in horses with a solid training foundation.

Engineered from premium stainless steel with integrated copper inlays, this bit is built to withstand the rigors of daily training while actively promoting salivation for a more receptive mouth. The ergonomic curve of the 14mm mouthpiece prevents pinching and accommodates horses with lower palates, ensuring that every signal you send is clear, isolated, and free from the discomfort caused by traditional jointed snaffles.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2-3 Forward Tilt Port: The 14mm mouthpiece features a unique 45° forward tilt that provides significant tongue relief and prevents the bit from hitting the roof of the mouth, ideal for horses with low palates.
• Independent Side Movement: This advanced Myler design allows for isolated rein aids, enabling the rider to lift one shoulder or give clear lateral signals without affecting the opposite side of the bit.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: High-quality copper inlays actively encourage salivation and a "wet" mouth, leading to superior bit acceptance and a more responsive, relaxed equine partner.
• 3-Inch Loose Ring Design: The stainless steel loose rings promote natural mouthing and discourage the horse from leaning on the bit, fostering a lighter contact and improved self-carriage.
• USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Fully compliant with competition regulations (per 1/2012 and 7/2016), offering a rare, legal ported option for dressage riders seeking enhanced comfort.
• Myler Sizing Philosophy: Each bit is manufactured 1/8" wider than the stated size (e.g., a 5" bit is actually 5 1/8") to ensure a perfect fit that prevents the mouthpiece from sitting too flush against the face.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am choosing the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler bits follow a specific sizing rule: they are manufactured 1/8" wider than the stated size. For a proper fit, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on each side of the horse's lips; if the bit sits flush against the face, it is too small and may cause pinching.

Q: Is the Myler MB36 legal for Dressage competitions?
A: Yes, the MB36 Loose Ring (without hooks) is 100% legal for both USEF and FEI dressage competitions. It is highly valued by competitive riders as a legal ported bit that provides the tongue relief necessary for horses that struggle with traditional single or double-jointed snaffles.

Q: What type of horse is the Level 2-3 mouthpiece best suited for?
A: This level is designed for horses with a solid foundation who are consistent in their work but may show resistance to tongue pressure. It is perfect for horses that lean on the bit, get "behind the vertical" to avoid pressure, or those with low palates that require a forward-tilted port to swallow comfortably.
