Myler Western D Ring Comfort Snaffle Bit with Copper Roller

This bit features a 5-inch curved comfort mouthpiece, which is the standard size for most adult horses. If you need a smaller size like 4½ or 4¾ inches, we'd recommend contacting our customer service team at Schneider Saddlery to discuss alternative options, as some customers have requested these sizes for smaller horses or mules.

Copper naturally promotes salivation and increases sensitivity within the horse's mouth, which helps encourage relaxation and a softer response to rein pressure. Combined with the sweet iron mouthpiece that oxidizes over time for an even sweeter taste, these materials work together to create a more responsive and comfortable bit experience for your horse.

Yes, this is an excellent starter bit for horses learning the basics. It applies tongue and bar pressure using a restrict and release action with a curved mouthpiece that allows horses to swallow freely, making it gentle yet effective for training. Many customers report that sensitive horses respond very well to this bit, with one owner noting their horse went from barely tolerating traditional snaffles to actively reaching for contact.

The Myler Western D Ring Comfort Snaffle features 3¼-inch stainless steel Western Dee rings that are polished for a clean appearance. The western dee design, combined with Myler's independent side movement technology, allows riders to isolate one side of the bit for clearer communication.

Myler bits offer independent side movement that allows riders to isolate one side of the bit to send a clearer, more direct signal to the horse. This design helps with more precise training and communication, giving you better control over which side of the horse's mouth you're working with compared to traditional snaffle designs.

The mouthpiece is made from sweet iron with copper inlay and features a copper roller that's 1 7/16 inches long. Sweet iron naturally oxidizes over time, producing an even sweeter taste that horses find more palatable and responsive to than stainless steel alone.

At $167.95, this bit represents a quality investment that customers consistently praise for lasting results. Multiple reviewers mention that Myler bits deliver better training outcomes and that the cost pays off through improved communication with your horse—one owner noted the soft feel and amazing response make it worth every penny.

Yes, customers have successfully used this bit on mules as well as horses. However, mules and smaller equines may benefit from the smaller 4½-inch or 4¾-inch mouthpiece sizes, so we recommend consulting with our team if you're fitting for an animal other than a standard horse.
