4.75″ Myler Sweet Iron Large Ring Snaffle

Here is a nice, gently used Myler loose ring snaffle with traditional snaffle joint. Large, sleeved ring snaffle, pinchless, with large O/Loose rings that measures 3 7/8″ in diameter. With Myler’s traditional snaffle mouth (MB09). Most of these bits are in stainless, whereas this one is made from sweet iron that rusts to offer a pleasant taste for your horse. This one has rusted from time and use. This configuration, despite being very popular, has been discontinued. You don’t see these very often! Very hard to find smaller size at 4.75″ Per Myler:

The MB 09 is a more comfortable Myler version of the traditional single-jointed mouthpiece. Although it lacks the benefits of a “true” Myler mouthpiece, it has a distinctive curve so the bars of the bit wrap around the horse’s bar and lips which make the bit more comfortable. The loose ring is a simple stainless steel “O” shape where both the bridle and mouthpiece have no fixed point of attachment but slide freely around the ring. The loose ring allows a lot of play as the mouthpiece slides freely around the ring. The loose ring is generally considered one of the most non-interfering cheek pieces because the mouthpiece slides freely around the ring. However the play in the mouthpiece can make it difficult for a horse to find your hands as the mouthpiece is in continual motion. The movement of the mouthpiece can also exaggerate or create a busy mouth in young or anxious horses. It is best suited for more advanced horses fully schooled in leg and seat aids as well as rein aids.
