Myler MB 33 Eggbutt with Hooks Horse Bit - Level 3 Ported Barrel Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay

Transform your communication with the ultimate solution for sensitive, finished horses that demand maximum tongue relief and nuanced cues. The Myler 33 Eggbutt with Hooks bridges the gap between comfort and precision, allowing your horse to relax into the bridle while you enjoy the refined control of Independent Side Movement.

Meticulously crafted by the legendary Myler family, this bit features the MB 33 mouthpiece—a Level 3 design engineered for the highest degree of equine comfort. The premium stainless steel construction is enhanced with strategic copper inlays to encourage salivation and relaxation, while the ergonomic curve ensures the bit sits naturally in the mouth without pinching the sensitive bars or lips.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 33 Level 3 Mouthpiece: Provides the highest degree of tongue relief available in the Myler system, featuring a 1.5-inch high port that allows the horse to swallow freely.
• Independent Side Movement: The innovative internal barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling you to "pick up" a shoulder or provide precise lateral aids.
• Versatile Hook System: Integrated slots in the eggbutt rings allow for fixed bridle attachment and two rein positions, offering the choice between direct action or mild poll pressure.
• Copper Inlay Technology: Promotes salivation and a "sweet" taste, helping the horse remain soft and responsive through the jaw during intense training sessions.
• Ergonomic 1/8-Inch Sizing: Designed to sit slightly wider than standard bits to prevent pinching; this bit measures 1/8" larger than the stated size to ensure a perfect 1/8" to 1/4" clearance on each side.
• Zero-Leverage Design: Engineered for advanced horses that are light in the hand, delivering a clear, direct signal without the need for heavy tongue pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the Myler 33 Eggbutt with Hooks legal for competitive dressage?
A: No, while the MB 33 mouthpiece is highly effective for schooling, the "with Hooks" version is generally prohibited in sanctioned Dressage and Eventing dressage phases due to the fixed attachment points and indirect action.

Q: How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler bits follow a specific "1/8 Inch Rule." Because of their ergonomic curve, they are manufactured to be 1/8" wider than the stated size. If your horse measures between sizes on a standard bit sizer, we recommend sizing up to ensure the bars do not pinch the lips.

Q: Does this bit require a curb strap or chain?
A: A curb strap is highly recommended when using the hooks. It helps balance the ported mouthpiece and provides the necessary leverage for the horse to flex at the poll, maximizing the effectiveness of the Level 3 design.
