Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler 33WL ensure ultimate comfort and tongue relief for my horse?

The Myler 33WL features a uniquely designed wide ported barrel (MB 33WL mouthpiece) which provides an exceptional degree of tongue relief. This design significantly minimizes pressure on the horse's tongue and palate, allowing ample room for the tongue to pass comfortably under the bit. This promotes a more relaxed jaw, easier swallowing, and encourages your horse to work off the bars and lips rather than resisting tongue pressure.

Is the Myler 33WL approved for competitive dressage?

Yes, absolutely. The Myler 33WL is fully approved as a snaffle for USEF dressage competitions (since 2012) and FEI dressage competitions (since 2016). This makes it a popular and reliable choice for riders competing at various levels. We always recommend consulting the specific organization's current rule book for any potential updates or specific regulations regarding cheekpieces.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it enhance communication?

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a core feature where each side of the Myler 33WL's mouthpiece can move independently of the other. This innovative design allows riders to deliver highly precise and distinct lateral aids. You can isolate a cue for balancing, bending, or lifting a shoulder without affecting the entire mouthpiece, resulting in much clearer and less ambiguous communication for your horse compared to traditional fixed-mouth bits.

For what type of horse and rider is the Myler 33WL most suitable?

The Myler 33WL is classified as a Level 3 Myler mouthpiece, making it ideal for more advanced or "finished" horses. These horses typically have a consistent disposition, are well-schooled, and are highly responsive to leg and seat aids. It's best suited for experienced riders seeking to refine their communication and achieve a higher level of harmony with a horse that benefits from minimal tongue pressure and precise cues.

What materials is the Myler 33WL made from, and does it encourage salivation?

The Myler 33WL is constructed from durable stainless steel, ensuring longevity, resistance to corrosion, and easy maintenance. Many versions of the mouthpiece also incorporate a copper inlay. This copper is specifically designed to encourage salivation, which promotes a softer, more accepting mouth in the horse, further enhancing responsiveness and comfort.
