Why the Myler 33WL Stands Apart:

• Exceptional Tongue Relief: Featuring the signature wide ported barrel (MB 33WL, Level 3), this mouthpiece offers the highest degree of tongue relief in a dressage-legal design. It provides ample space for your horse's tongue, minimizing pressure, preventing rotation, and encouraging a relaxed mouth with comfortable swallowing.
• Competition Ready & Legal: Ride with confidence! The Myler 33WL is proudly USEF dressage legal (since 1/2012) and FEI dressage legal (since 7/2016), ensuring compliance for competition at the highest levels.
• Precise Communication with Independent Side Movement: Benefit from Myler's innovative Independent Side Movement. Each side of the bit moves independently, allowing for clear, precise lateral aids. This fosters refined communication, aiding in balance, bending, and lifting a shoulder without confusing your horse.
• Ergonomic & Non-Pinching Design: Crafted with a curved mouthpiece that conforms naturally to your horse's anatomy, wrapping around the bars and lips to prevent pinching. The stable Eggbutt cheekpiece further ensures comfort by preventing skin or lip pinching at the corners of the mouth.
• Gentle, Effective Action: Works primarily off the bars and lips, with balanced, gentle pressure on the chin and poll when activated. This encourages softening and acceptance, offering an effective yet kind feel that promotes communication over force.
• Built to Last: Constructed with a durable Myler Stainless Steel Eggbutt and a Copper Inlay Mouth for long-lasting performance, increased salivation, and optimal acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Myler 33WL unique for tongue relief?

The Myler 33WL features a wide, low ported barrel (MB 33WL, Level 3 mouthpiece) which is specifically designed to provide the highest degree of tongue relief. This ample space minimizes pressure on the horse's tongue, prevents it from rotating, and allows for comfortable swallowing, encouraging a more relaxed mouth and a softer contact.

Is the Myler 33WL Eggbutt Snaffle legal for competition?

Yes, absolutely. This bit is widely recognized and legal for both USEF dressage (since 1/2012) and FEI dressage (since 7/2016) competitions, making it a compliant choice for riders competing at the highest levels.

What is "Independent Side Movement" and how does it benefit my horse?

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key Myler innovation where each side of the bit mouthpiece moves independently. This allows the rider to give clear and precise lateral aids, which is beneficial for balancing, bending, or lifting a shoulder. It fosters a more nuanced and effective communication without confusing the horse, encouraging a lighter and more responsive connection.

What kind of action does this bit have and what does 'Level 3' mean for a Myler bit?

The Myler 33WL works primarily off the bars and lips of the horse's mouth, with some gentle pressure also applied to the chin and poll when activated. It's classified as a Level 3 Myler bit, meaning it offers maximum tongue relief and more independent side movement. Level 3 bits are designed for horses that are consistently trained, have good basic education, and are comfortable with direct rein contact, allowing for refined communication with minimal pressure, suitable for advanced lateral work.

How does the Myler 33WL prevent pinching and ensure comfort?

The Myler 33WL incorporates an ergonomic design with a curved mouthpiece that conforms to the natural anatomy of the horse's mouth, wrapping around the bars and lips to prevent pinching. Additionally, the Eggbutt cheekpiece contributes to stability and helps prevent the bit from pinching the corners of the horse's mouth, ensuring overall comfort.

What is the purpose of the Copper Inlay Mouth?

The copper inlay in the mouthpiece encourages salivation, which helps to keep the horse's mouth moist and supple. This can promote acceptance of the bit, encourage the horse to be softer and more responsive, and contribute to a more relaxed jaw and poll.

What size is this bit?

The Myler 33WL Eggbutt Snaffle described here typically features a 5 1/2 inch mouthpiece, which is a standard size. It's crucial to ensure this size is appropriate for your horse's mouth width for optimal fit and comfort. Other sizes may be available through custom order or different product listings.

How should I care for my Myler bit?

To maintain the longevity and hygiene of your Myler bit, it's recommended to rinse it thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove saliva and debris. For a deeper clean, you can use a mild soap and water solution, ensuring all residue is rinsed off. Dry completely before storage to prevent corrosion, especially around the copper inlay. Regular inspection for wear and tear is also advised.
