This bit features Western Dee cheeks with hooks. It has a Myler MB 32 mullen mouth. It is a Myler level 2 bit.
The MB 32 is an innovative Myler alternative to the traditional mullen. It has three barrels, which turn the mouthpiece from the typical solid bar of a mullen into a flexible bar, which allows the horse to elevate his tongue and swallow more easily. When the reins are engaged, the mouthpiece becomes a solid bar like a traditional mullen, but with an exaggerated curve. This curved bar rotates across the bars and lips down onto the tongue, applying pressure across the entire surface of the tongue. The flexibility of the MB 32 makes it very forgiving and comforting when relaxed but offers the rider control when engaged. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
The Western Dee with Hooks is a circular stainless steel ring with a fixed attachment of the mouthpiece, with top and bottom rings (hooks) for headstall and rein attachment. The small loop behind the top slot accommodates a curb strap (attach with two curb hooks). The top bridle ring will fit standard 5/8" leather found on most headstalls. The bottom rein ring has recently been updated to fit slobber straps up to approximately 1 3/4". Attaching the headstall to the top hook holds the bit in the correct position instead of allowing it to slide around the bridle cheek pieces. Attaching the reins to the rein hooks allows the rider to lift the cheek and use the Independent Side Movement of the mouthpiece. Adding a curb strap (using a Myler curb strap kit) incorporates curb pressure. Curb pressure is recommended for ported mouthpieces.
