TheMB01 mouthpiece is anatomically shaped - the slight arch allows the horse to swallow. The MB01 has no port, which means that the bit is tongue-less. The MB01 mouthpiece is similar to the MB02 mouthpiece, but the cylinder in the middle is narrower. The cylinder in the middle means that the mouthpiece does not "collapse" in the horse's mouth. As the mouthpiece has no tongue clearance, the bit puts pressure on both the tongue and the loader, Myler however, the bit distributes the pressure more evenly over the tongue than the traditional two- or three-part snaffle bit.
The bit is suitable for the disciplines:
-
Dressage (FEI approved)
-
Show jumping
-
Icelandic
-
Distance
-
Hunter
A D-ring bit provides a calmness in the horse's mouth compared to a traditional snaffle bit with loose bit rings. The loose bit rings can rotate at the sides of the mouthpiece, whereas the D-rings cannot, which makes them lie still and stable against the horse's cheek.
Horse at Level 1:
-
The horse is to be broken in or has just started breaking in.
-
The horse is about to or is learning the basics of gaits, transitions and obedience.
-
The horse has been ridden a bit, but is still learning basic signals.
-
The horse has a challenging temperament.
Independent Side Movement
Some of the Myler bits are equipped with so-called "Independent Side Movement". As the name suggests, this allows the rider to move each side of the bit independently of each other. This means that when the rider pulls on one rein, the horse gets a very clear signal as only one side moves. This provides effective shoulder control and bending of the horse.
