Transform your horse’s responsiveness by eliminating tongue pressure and encouraging a soft, relaxed mouth through superior engineering. This Myler Level 2 bit is the ultimate solution for riders seeking refined communication and an end to resistances like head-tossing or mouth-gaping.

Engineered with the patented MB 04 mouthpiece, this Western Dee bit combines high-quality stainless steel with a Sweet Iron mouthpiece that naturally oxidizes to create a pleasant, sweet taste. The ergonomic curve and 1/4-inch low port work in harmony with your horse's anatomy, allowing for easy swallowing and a quiet jaw, which are essential for achieving a steady, focused headset in Western performance, trail, or schooling disciplines.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 2 Mouthpiece (MB 04): Features a 1/4" low port that provides mild tongue relief, making it the ideal "step-up" bit for horses transitioning from a basic Level 1 snaffle.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to stimulate salivation and a "sweet" taste, encouraging your horse to accept the bit and stay soft in the hand.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Myler’s patented design allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling highly refined lateral aids and shoulder control without the harsh "nutcracker" effect.
• Ergonomic 5" Width: Designed with a built-in width tolerance, this 5-inch bit actually measures 5 1/8" to accommodate the unique anatomical curve of the horse's mouth for a pinch-free fit.
• Fixed Western Dee Cheekpiece: Crafted from durable stainless steel, the Dee design offers immediate rein signals and consistent lateral control while preventing the bit from sliding through the mouth.
• Enhanced Tongue Relief: The low port barrel reduces direct pressure on the tongue and palate, promoting relaxation in the jaw and poll for a more willing and attentive equine partner.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure this 5" Myler bit fits my horse correctly?
A: Myler bits are uniquely curved to wrap around the bars and lips. For a proper fit, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on either side of the horse’s mouth. Because of the ergonomic curve, this 5" bit features a 5 1/8" actual measurement to ensure it doesn't pinch the horse’s cheeks.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a green horse or one showing resistance?
A: Yes, the MB 04 is specifically designed for green horses or those established in basic training who are ready for more refined communication. By providing tongue relief and encouraging salivation via the Sweet Iron, it effectively addresses common resistance issues like head tossing and reluctance to take the contact.
