Myler Full Cheek w/Hook Low Port Comfort Snaffle MB 04

This bit features full cheeks with hooks and a Myler MB 04 low port comfort snaffle mouth. This is a Myler level 2 bit. It is NOT dressage legal.

The MB 04 is similar to the MB 02 in that it will rotate on the tongue and apply tongue pressure, however, it has a low 1/4" port that introduces some tongue relief to the horse. The port allows the horse to swallow and move his tongue when he is moving forward and relaxed, which acts as a release or reward. The mouthpiece is curved, and it wraps around the bars and lips instead of pinching

The MB 04 provides an excellent transition from Level One to Level Two. It is suitable for a wide range of horses, including green horses, experienced horses entering the Myler System, horses that have been ridden exclusively in a single-jointed mouthpiece, or horses that have not been ridden for a while needing re-schooling. The full cheek with hooks is a traditional cheek style designed to be used with bit keepers (sold separately) to hold the bit in the correct position. The posts also prevent the bit from sliding through the mouth while applying cheek pressure. When used without bit keepers, the bit will sit in the mouth similarly to a dee or eggbutt without hooks. The ring has a fixed attachment of the mouthpiece, as well as one rein slot (hooks) at the bottom of the ring for rein attachmentno attachment for the curb chain or strap. The rein slot will fit standard " bridle leather. The hook makes this a much more versatile bit than one without the hook. Using bit keepers to hold the post in the correct position stabilizes the bit in the bridle instead of allowing it to flop forward. Attaching the reins to the rein hooks allows the rider to lift the cheek and use the Independent Side Movement of the mouthpiece. Using the rein hooks does not add leverage but allows the rider to transition from a direct rein action to indirect action without changing the bit.
