Myler English Dee with grommets MS 04 level 2 14 cm - Mouthpiece: The MB 04, Level 2 mouthpiece rolls downward onto the tongue and loading. It makes an excellent transition from level 1 to level 2 bits. It is suitable for a wide variety of horses: inexperienced horses, already trained horses being ridden with Myler bits for the first time, or as a bit for horses that have had an extended break from riding. It encourages the horse to relax in the neck before the tongue is restricted by rein pressure and is good for encouraging bending and balance.
Compared to the MS 02 mouthpiece (level 1), the MS 04 has a slight port and so offers slight tongue freedom, but over pressure on the loading and lips. The bend of the side bars of the mouthpiece causes the mouthpiece to turn on the tongue when the reins are taken and to put pressure on the slides and lips, but without pinching or pinching them. At the same time the bend of the mouthpiece creates more space for the tongue under the bit. The mouthpiece is double-broken and has a wide cuff with a built-in roller (Billy Allen-like). This cuff with roller acts on the center of the tongue and rolls down on it. The two sides of the mouthpiece move independently of each other, allowing the rider to lift one side of the bit away from the tongue towards the loading. This allows one side of the horse to be specifically isolated and one shoulder to be lifted. The cuff with roller distributes the given rein pressure more gently than a traditional double bit mouthpiece. When pressure is applied to both reins, the interaction of pinching, restraint and rewarding relief is utilized, the nutcracker effect is virtually eliminated due to the design of the bit. The reel is used in particular to calm horses with a restless mouth.
Cheekpiece: The English Dee with eyelets is a more versatile version of the standard Dee: - if the headstall is fastened in the upper eyelets, the bit automatically remains in the correct position and cannot slip: - if the reins are attached to the (lower) rein eyelets, the rider can selectively lift the cheekpiece and thus make use of the independent lateral freedom of movement (see below). When using the rein eyelets, a leverage effect of the bit is eliminated. - without using the eyelets there is a direct effect when the reins are taken up, the identical pressure on the reins is passed on to the horse's mouth. The signal is clearer than with a loose O-ring bit. The straight side of the D-ring cannot be pulled through the horse's mouth and therefore does not pinch.
