MB04 Myler Low Port Comfort Snaffle Hanging Cheek

The MBO4 hanging cheek snaffle is a nice bit for certain horses. There is a belief by some people that the hanging cheek bit design in use brings some poll leverage action which is not true. To create a poll action we need to have a shank below the side ring piece or in place of it as the fulcrum creating poll pressure needs to act on the bit below the side ring piece. However the MBO4 low port hanging cheek is much less busy in the horse mouth than say a loose ring bit and with a young horse or a well schooled horse it is often accepted very well. The Myler MB04 low port hanging cheek bit is specially good for horses that are sensitive to poll pressure or head shakers where the horse prefers the bit to be stable in its mouth and not move around too much.

Small, ¾ inch port for tongue relief. Wrapping action (no pinch or nutcracker). Independent Side Movement. This acts on tongue & corners of bars, gently wrapping lips. Encourages horse to bend, balance & relax at the poll. Ideal for a young horse, encouraging your horse to move with the bit as it wraps the outer lip. Dressage Legal.
