Frequently Asked Questions

How does the MB 33 mouthpiece provide comfort and tongue relief?

The Myler MB 33 mouthpiece is specifically designed with a generously wide, low port (typically 1 ½ inches high). This allows significant room for your horse's tongue to pass almost completely under the bit, working primarily off the bars and lips with minimal to no palate pressure. It's one of Myler's mildest mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, ideal for horses sensitive to conventional bits.

What role do the sweet iron and copper inlay play in bit acceptance?

The sweet iron mouthpiece naturally oxidizes when exposed to moisture, creating a pleasant, sweet taste that encourages salivation. This helps your horse relax their jaw and mouth the bit comfortably. The copper inlay further enhances this effect, offering an inviting taste that promotes salivation and encourages your horse to accept the bit more readily.

How does the "combination" design enhance communication?

This bit’s unique "combination" design acts as a hybrid, synchronizing pressure across five distinct points: the nose, chin, poll, and mouth. This innovative approach allows your horse to respond to signals from the nose, chin, and poll before the mouthpiece fully engages, providing a softer initial cue and promoting much clearer, more subtle communication between horse and rider.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it benefit my riding?

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key Myler feature that allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently. This provides the rider with the ability to isolate one side of the bit for specific cues like bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder without engaging the entire mouthpiece. The result is a more precise, clearer signal to your horse, enhancing responsiveness and subtle communication.

Who is the Myler MB 33 Combination Bit suitable for, and what is a Level 3 bit?

The Myler MB 33 is classified as a Level 3 bit, meaning it's designed for "finished" horses with a consistent disposition that understand basic aids and are trained to work off the leg and seat, in addition to the hands. It is typically recommended for experienced riders who can effectively utilize its sophisticated communication system to refine their horse's performance and foster a deeper connection.
