Key Features

  • Non-ToxicNon-Toxic

    Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.

  • Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability

    Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.

  • Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure

    These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.

  • Direct PressureDirect Pressure

    Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.

The Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel mouthpiece featured on the Myler Loose Ring MB 04 Comfort Snaffle Bit is the Myler alternative to the traditional three-piece mouthpiece commonly used in snaffle bits. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece rotates fully onto the horse's tongue in order to apply the necessary tongue pressure to teach a horse to give to the bit or break at the poll. This Level 2 mouthpiece features a 1/4" port that introduces tongue relief.

Providing an excellent transition from Level 1 to Level 2, this bit is even suitable for a wide range of horses as a starting point in the Myler Bitting System.

Additional Information

Ergonomic Design:

The unique curved bars of all Myler bits are ergonomically designed to accommodate the natural anatomy of the horse's mouth, wrapping the bars and lips instead of pinching as the mouthpiece rotates onto the tongue. This curved design also provides significantly more space for the horse's tongue underneath the bit, allowing the horse to comfortably swallow when the reins are not engaged.

The barrel in the center is the same width as the bars of the mouthpiece, and therefore applies the same amount of pressure on the tongue. This style of "wide barrel" distributes pressure more kindly than traditional bit centerpieces, and also creates the Independent Side Movement unique to Myler bits!

Independent Side Movement:

The barrel at the center of the mouthpiece is not a roller, but rather a bushing that allows each side of the bit to move independently of the other. When the rider engages one rein on a traditional bit, the entire mouthpiece moves, creating a confusing signal for the horse. In comparison, when the rider engages one fixed rein using a Myler bit with ISM, the rider lifts only one side of the bit, giving a very clear, precise signal to the horse.

Myler Philosophy:

The creators of Myler Bits, Ron, Dale and Bob Myler, offer this philosophy behind each of their bits: The bit is a communication tool between the horse and rider, and in order to effectively communicate with the horse, the rider needs a bit which allows the horse to be relaxed. Keeping this in mind, the Myler Bitting System is based on the concept of tongue relief. Distributing tongue pressure more evenly than rival designs Myler's unique designs offer varying degrees of tongue relief for the horse depending on his level of training and his disposition. These degrees are identified by the "Level" noted for each bit.

Sizing

Please Note: A Myler bit will normally measure 1/8” larger than the stated size because the Myler's believe that the bit should have at least 1/8” to 1/4” of bit on either side of the mouth.

Great Loose Ring SnaffleMy horse took to this bit really well. I have had several Mylers, and I really like their quality. Riding Warehouse had the best price, and the shipping was really quick. Highly recommend Myler and Riding Warehouse!

QualityWe like this bit. The metal is smooth, and overall the quality is high. There are marks to make sure it's placed in the mouth correctly, and the action feels smooth to my hand. My horse didn't really have bit "issues;" however, he does over-flex, and I wanted this bit (alongside training) to encourage him to reach out more. This should give tongue relief, and since he's UBER-sensitive I think it will help. My horse accepted this bit straight away. This was a better price than anyone else, so it made it worth trying.

Comments: Love the entire line of Myler bits -- can find something for my whole herd, from the greenies to the seasoned, highly trained schoolmaster who is extremely fussy about her bits. This particular one is very versatile and works on a lot of horses, and easily transitions from arena schooling to show ring use to the endurance trail.
