Myler Loose Ring MB 01

MB01 Loose Ring



 Independent Side Movement
 

The MB 01 is the Myler alternative to the traditional single-jointed mouthpiece commonly used in snaffle bits. The MB 01 rotates onto the tongue to apply concentrated tongue pressure at the center barrel, but because the mouthpiece is curved, it wraps around the bars and lips instead of pinching. The barrel in the center applies approximately the same pressure on the tongue as a traditional single-jointed mouthpiece. However, the barrel distributes the pressure more kindly and allows for each side of the bit to be used independently.

• Stainless Steel mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
• Copper Inlay
• USEF Dressage Legal, 2019

Notes: The mouthpiece is similar to the MB 02 but the center barrel of the MB 01 is narrower, which concentrates pressure on the center of the tongue more than the MB 02. For more tongue relief, step up to the MB 04.

The loose ring is a simple stainless steel "O" shape where both the bridle and mouthpiece have no fixed point of attachment but slide freely around the ring. The loose ring allows a lot of play as the mouthpiece slides freely around the ring.

Size: 3" ring

Action: Direct

Discipline: English or Western

Notes: The loose ring is generally considered one of the most non-interfering cheek pieces because the mouthpiece slides freely around the ring. However the play in the mouthpiece can make it difficult for a horse to find your hands as the mouthpiece is in continual motion. The movement of the mouthpiece can also exaggerate or create a busy mouth in young or anxious horses. It is best suited for more advanced horses fully schooled in leg and seat aids as well as rein aids.

“Designed with the Equine in Mind” - Established 1987 

Ron, Dale and Bob Myler started designing bits over 20 years ago. They developed their approach to bitting from riding their own horses, helping other riders with their horses, working with equine dentists and chiropractors and studying how the bit works in the horse’s mouth. They continue to make custom bits at their shop in Marshfield, MO, in addition to working with Toklat Originals, the exclusive worldwide distributor of Myler Bits.
