TheMB02 mouthpiece is anatomically shaped - the slight arch allows the horse to swallow. The MB02 has no gate, which means that the bit is tongue-less. The mouthpiece has a cylinder in the middle that prevents the bit from "collapsing" in the horse's mouth. As the mouthpiece is tongue-free, 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 bit with loose bit rings does not give the horse the same calmness in the mouth as fixed bit rings, as the bit rings can turn in the mouthpiece when the rein is pulled.

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.
