Myler Stainless Steel Western Dee, 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.
Notes: The mouthpiece is similar to the MB 02 but the center barrel of the MB 01 is narrower, which concentrates pressure on the center of the tongue more than the MB 02. For more tongue relief, step up to the MB 04.
The Western Dee without Hooks is a stainless steel ring with fixed attachment of the mouthpiece. This traditional cheek style keeps the mouthpiece from draping on the tongue, providing a more direct signal than the loose ring. The straight side of ring will not pull through the mouth and does not pinch.
Size: 3″ offset ring
Action: Direct
Discipline: Primarily Western
Notes: For a more versatile version, see the Western Dee with hooks.

Myler bits use a curved mouthpiece that wraps around the tongue and bars instead of pinching. Independent Side Movement lets each side of the mouthpiece move separately, so you can give a clear signal with one rein without affecting the other side. Many styles come with or without hooks. The hooks hold the bit steady in the mouth and let you switch between direct and indirect rein action without changing bits.
Myler bits are designed for comfort, with a curved mouthpiece that sits around the tongue and bars rather than pinching them. How strong a bit feels depends on the mouthpiece, the cheekpiece and the rider’s hands, which is why Myler groups its bits into levels. Many riders start with a Level 1 Comfort Snaffle for young or sensitive horses.
Myler groups its bits into levels that reflect how much independent rein control a horse is ready for. Level 1 mouthpieces such as the Comfort Snaffle suit horses new to Myler or with sensitive mouths, Level 2 introduces more tongue relief and control, and Level 3 gives the most precise cues for more advanced training.
Each cheekpiece changes how rein pressure is applied: Dee and Eggbutt cheekpieces are common all-round choices, Bridoon cheekpieces are designed for use with a double bridle, and the 3-Ring Combination gives adjustable leverage for horses that need extra control.
Rules vary by discipline and governing body, and not every Myler bit is competition legal. Some styles in this range are marked as not dressage legal in their product description. Check the description for the bit you’re considering, then confirm it against your governing body’s current rules before you compete.
Myler bits are sized by mouthpiece width, which you select on each product page. Figures like 3 3/8″ in a product name refer to the cheek ring size, not the mouth width. Measure your horse’s current bit from the inside of one ring to the inside of the other to find the right fit, and get in touch if you’d like help.
