Elevate your large horse’s performance with the Myler MB 36, a bit specifically engineered to provide the generous tongue relief and refined communication needed for advanced schooling. This 6-inch Draft-sized bit eliminates the discomfort of traditional snaffles, allowing your horse to relax into the contact and focus on your subtle cues for a truly harmonious ride.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel with strategic copper inlays, the MB 36 features Myler’s signature Independent Side Movement (ISM). This innovative design allows you to isolate one side of the bit to lift a shoulder or refine a bend without disturbing the other side, while the forward-tilted low port offers a 45-degree angle that avoids palate pressure and encourages a softer, more collected frame.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: Ideal for horses with a solid foundation that require more tongue relief and sophisticated communication to progress in their training.
• Forward-Tilted Low Port: Features a 45-degree tilt that provides maximum tongue room at rest and applies strategic pressure to the bars and lips when engaged to promote collection.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Enables isolated pressure for precise steering and lateral flexion, allowing the rider to lift one shoulder without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• 6-Inch Draft Sizing: Specifically engineered to measure 6 1/8 inches, providing the necessary clearance to prevent the loose rings from pinching the lips of larger Draft or Warmblood breeds.
• Copper Inlay Mouth: Encourages salivation and gentle acceptance, leading to a softer, more responsive mouth and improved relaxation throughout the jaw.
• Dressage Competition Legal: Fully compliant with USEF (since 2012) and FEI (since 2016) regulations, making it a premier choice for the dressage arena.
• Stainless Steel Loose Rings: Provides direct, immediate communication and allows the mouthpiece to move freely so the horse can find its most comfortable point of contact.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why does this 6-inch bit measure 6 1/8 inches?
A: Myler bits are purposefully engineered 1/8" larger than their stated size to ensure the curved bars sit correctly over the tongue and to provide the 1/8" to 1/4" of visible mouthpiece required to prevent the loose rings from pinching the horse's lips.

Q: Is the Myler MB 36 legal for USEF and FEI Dressage?
A: Yes! This specific loose ring configuration (without hooks) is fully legal for both USEF and FEI dressage competitions, offering a legal solution for horses that are "busy" in the mouth or resistant to traditional single-jointed snaffles.

Q: How does the forward-tilted port benefit my horse?
A: The 45-degree tilt provides generous tongue relief when the reins are relaxed. When engaged, it applies primary pressure to the bars and lips rather than the palate, guiding the horse into a rounded, collected frame with much clearer signals.
