Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler 33WL ensure my horse's comfort and provide tongue relief?

The Myler 33WL features a unique wide-ported barrel (MB33WL mouthpiece) that provides exceptional tongue relief. This design creates significant space for your horse's tongue, alleviating pressure and preventing the discomfort often associated with other bits. It's considered one of Myler's mildest mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, facilitating comfortable swallowing and promoting relaxation, which encourages a more responsive mouth. It's especially beneficial for horses that tend to fuss or be "overactive" with their tongue.

Can this bit help with resistance or communication issues in dressage?

Absolutely. A key feature of the Myler 33WL is its Independent Side Movement (ISM). This allows for highly precise and subtle communication, meaning you can address specific areas of your horse's mouth without applying overall pressure. This clear communication, enabling more isolated aids for balancing, bending, or lifting a shoulder, can significantly help in overcoming resistance, head-tossing, or evasion of the bit, leading to a more willing acceptance and improved performance in dressage.

Is the Myler 33WL legal for dressage competitions, and what Myler Level is it?

Yes, the Myler 33WL is widely recognized and approved for both USEF (since 2012) and FEI (since 2016) dressage competitions, making it a popular and legal choice for riders in these disciplines. Riders are always advised to verify current rulebooks. It is classified as a Myler Level 3 bit, indicating it's designed for "good-minded, trustworthy" horses with advanced training that are responsive to light aids. While it offers maximum freedom and comfort, this level may not be suitable for greener or more challenging horses.

How does this bit work, and is it considered severe?

The Myler 33WL primarily works off the bars and lips of the horse's mouth, with minimal pressure on the tongue due to its wide port. While it offers precise control, its design prioritizes comfort. The curved mouthpiece is crafted to prevent pinching, and when used appropriately by a rider with sensitive hands, it is generally considered a kind and effective bit. Its purpose is to enhance communication and comfort, not to be severe, fostering a willing partnership.
