Myler MB 33WL Dressage Legal Dee Bit - Wide Ported Barrel, Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay, Level 3

Achieve a soft, responsive connection with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and foster total equine relaxation in the show ring. The Myler 33WL is the ultimate solution for the sensitive, finished horse, providing the maximum tongue relief allowed by international dressage regulations.

Engineered for the refined athlete, this bit utilizes a wide-ported barrel that shifts pressure from the sensitive tongue to the bars and lips, encouraging a quiet mouth and steady contact. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel with integrated copper inlays, it promotes natural salivation while the Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows for surgical precision in your aids, ensuring your horse remains supple and focused on your cues without the distraction of mouthpiece resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is the 33WL specifically recommended for dressage over other Level 3 Myler bits?
A: The 33WL is uniquely designed for the dressage arena; its port height is capped at 29mm to meet strict competition rules that standard Level 3 bits often exceed. It is also manufactured without "hooks" (slots in the rings) to ensure it is fully legal for USEF and FEI tests.

Q: How should I size this bit to ensure the Independent Side Movement works correctly?
A: For the ISM and swivel action to function as intended, the bit should not fit flush against the lips. You must ensure that 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit's bar is visible on each side of the mouth; Myler bits are typically manufactured slightly wider than their stated size to accommodate this necessary "play."
