Refined Communication for the Advanced Dressage Horse

Stepping up to a double bridle is a milestone in any dressage journey, and the Myler Bridoon Bit 36 (5 1/2") is designed to make that transition seamless. If your horse has a busy mouth or seems restricted by traditional snaffles, this bit offers the sophisticated relief needed for advanced collection. From our barn to yours, we know that the right bit makes all the difference in achieving that elusive, soft connection.

The MB 36 mouthpiece is a Level 2-3 design, featuring a 1" forward-tilted port at a 45° angle. This specific geometry allows the horse to swallow easily while shifting pressure away from the tongue and onto the bars and lips. It’s a tool built for the long haul, helping you maintain a happy, willing partner through the most demanding lateral work.

Key Benefits

• Maximum Tongue Relief: The 1" forward-tilted port allows for plenty of tongue room, encouraging the horse to relax and swallow naturally.
• Independent Side Movement: Myler’s signature design allows you to give isolated aids, meaning you can lift one shoulder or flex one side without disturbing the opposite side of the mouth.
• Immediate Reward: The loose ring construction ensures that as soon as you release the rein, the pressure vanishes, providing a clear and instant reward for your horse.
• Competition Ready: This bit is engineered to meet FEI and USEF standards for upper-level dressage, making it a reliable choice for the performance arena.

Best For

Upper-level dressage riders looking for a refined bridoon that offers significant tongue relief and independent side movement within a double bridle setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I size the Myler Bridoon Bit 36 compared to my curb bit?

In a traditional double bridle setup, your bridoon should typically be 1/4" larger than your Weymouth (curb) bit. Since this model is 5 1/2", it is the ideal match for a 5 1/4" curb.

Q: Is this bit legal for dressage competition?

Yes, the Myler Bridoon Bit 36 is generally FEI and USEF legal for the dressage ring. We always recommend double-checking the current year's rulebook for any specific regional updates.

Q: How much of the bit should be visible outside the horse's mouth?

For a proper Myler fit, you should see about 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the lips to ensure the loose rings don't pinch.
