Myler Western Dee with Hooks Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel MB 02

Myler Stainless Steel Western Dee with Hooks, MB 02 Comfort Snaffle Wide Barrel, Level 1

The MB 02 is the Myler alternative to the traditional French link or lozenge mouthpiece commonly used in snaffle bits. The MB 02 rotates onto the tongue, applying tongue pressure, 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 three-piece mouthpiece, however, the barrel distributes the pressure more kindly and creates Independent Side Movement. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.

Features:

• Independent Side Movement
• Sweet Iron mouthpiece
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
• Copper Inlay

  The western dee with hooks is a circular stainless steel ring with 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 ?'' leather found on most headstalls. The bottom rein ring has recently been updated to fit slobber straps up to approximately 1 ''. The knob on the top of the rein ring is for decorationit has no function.

  The hooks make this a much more versatile version of the dee without hooks. 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 allow the rider to lift the cheek and use the Independent Side Movement of the mouthpiece. Using the hooks does not add leverage but allows the rider to transition from a direct rein action to indirect action without changing the bit. Adding a curb strap (using a Myler curb strap kit) incorporates curb pressure. Curb pressure is recommended for ported mouthpieces.
