Myler Medium Baucher with Low Port Comfort Snaffle Bit MB 04 - Level 2
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 small (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.
Features:
- Independent side movement
- Stainless steel mouthpiece
- Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars
- Copper Inlay
- USEF and FEI Dressage Legal. Consult rulebook for more information.
Level 2 :
Young or green horses, just beginning training, with a steady disposition. Older horses, just beginning training, training for a new discipline, or retraining after a long lapse. Riding in a Level 1 mouthpiece and showing resistance.
- Offers tongue relief with either a small port or flexible mouthpiece
- Rotates on to the tongue to apply some tongue pressure
- Collapses to form a "U" instead of a "V"
- Curves to allow more room for the tongue, protecting lips and bars from being pinched
- Independent Side Movement on most mouthpieces
Selecting Your Horse's Myler Level:
Myler mouthpiece designs correspond to the Myler level of the horse's behavior and experience. The mouthpiece levels start at Level 1, which apply maximum tongue pressure and go up to Level 3, which apply minimum tongue pressure and offer the most tongue relief. Most horses can avoid level 1 altogether; its quite possible that your horse can enter the Myler System at Level 2, Level 2-3, or even 3.
