Elevate your dressage performance and reward your horse with the ultimate in tongue relief and refined communication. The Myler 5 1/2" Weymouth Wide Ported Barrel Bit (MB 16PB) is engineered to eliminate palate pressure, transforming resistance into a soft, willing partnership.

Crafted for the "finished" horse, this Level 3 mouthpiece represents the pinnacle of Myler's ergonomic design, featuring a wide, moderately high port that creates a comfortable "home" for the tongue. The combination of durable stainless steel and strategically placed copper inlays encourages salivation and relaxation, ensuring your horse remains supple and responsive throughout the most demanding lateral work and collection.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 3 Mouthpiece: Provides maximum tongue relief, making it the premier choice for tongue-sensitive horses or those with low palates who require significant space to swallow and relax.
• Wide Ported Barrel (MB 16PB): The 5 1/2" wide port design physically lifts the bit off the bars and palate, distributing pressure evenly to encourage a more consistent, quiet contact.
• Independent Side Movement: Features a revolutionary design where each side moves independently, allowing the rider to isolate one side of the mouth for precise shoulder lifting and subtle bending cues.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Built for longevity and rust resistance, this bit features integrated copper inlays that naturally promote salivation for a softer, more responsive feel.
• Refined Weymouth Leverage: Designed specifically for use in a double bridle, the shanks provide sophisticated leverage to the poll and chin groove, perfect for achieving high-level collection.
• Anatomical Mouthpiece Placement: Engineered to sit lower and more naturally in the horse's mouth, this bit reduces the urge for head tossing or fussing caused by traditional, high-pressure ported bits.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for a double bridle?
A: Following the "Quarter-Inch Smaller" rule, a Weymouth bit is typically sized 1/4" smaller than your bridoon (snaffle) bit, as it sits lower in the horse's mouth where the jaw is naturally narrower.

Q: What makes the MB 16PB mouthpiece different from traditional curb bits?
A: Unlike traditional curbs that can impinge on the palate, the MB 16PB features a generous, wide port that protects the sensitive roof of the mouth while providing maximum room for the tongue to move freely.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse just starting in a double bridle?
A: This Level 3 bit is intended for "finished" horses that are already steady on the aids and light in the hand; it is the ideal tool for riders seeking to refine their communication at the upper levels of training.
