Myler MB 16 Curb Bit

Myler's Level 3 bits are designed for horses that are already well-schooled and require a more refined, subtle communication. This level typically features a port for tongue relief and is intended for horses that have moved past basic training and are ready for more complex cues.

Sweet iron oxidizes when it comes into contact with moisture, creating a slightly sweet, metallic taste that many horses find palatable. This encourages the horse to accept the bit, relax their jaw, and salivate, which often leads to a softer, more responsive mouth.

The medium port is shaped to provide generous tongue relief, which helps minimize direct pressure on the tongue. By creating space for the tongue, it reduces the likelihood of the horse tossing their head or gaping their mouth to avoid discomfort.

No, this bit is generally best suited for experienced riders. The seven-inch shank provides significant leverage, meaning even small movements of the rein are amplified. It is designed for precise, indirect signaling rather than the direct, forgiving contact needed by beginners.

This bit is primarily designed for Western disciplines, such as reining and Western pleasure. Its leverage action and port design are tailored to the specific neck-reining and collection requirements found in these sports.
