Myler MB 33 English Dee Bit with Hooks - 5" Mouth - Stainless Steel Level 3 Horse Bit

Elevate your horse's performance with the ultimate in tongue relief and refined communication. The Myler 33 English Dee Bit provides the subtle, clear cues necessary for a responsive, trusting partnership with your finished equine athlete.

Engineered with the sophisticated MB 33 mouthpiece, this Level 3 bit is the gold standard for sensitive horses that resist traditional pressure. The high-quality stainless steel construction features integrated copper inlays to encourage salivation, while the Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows you to lift a shoulder or flex laterally with surgical precision without the "nutcracker" effect of traditional snaffles.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 33 Level 3 Mouthpiece: Myler’s mildest design featuring a wide 1.5" high port for maximum tongue relief and palate protection.
• 5" Mouthpiece Width: Designed with the "Myler Gap" in mind, typically fitting 1/8" to 1/4" larger than standard bits to ensure the bit sits properly across the tongue.

• Copper Inlay Strips: Strategically placed along the stainless steel mouthpiece to encourage salivation and promote bit acceptance.

• Optimized for Finished Horses: Specifically designed for well-trained horses that are responsive to seat and leg aids and require minimal tongue pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?
A: Myler bits are designed to run slightly large to protect the bars of the mouth. When fitted correctly, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible between the horse’s lips and the cheekpiece on both sides.

Q: What is the benefit of using the hooks on the Dee ring?
A: The hooks offer incredible versatility; attaching the headstall to the top hook stabilizes the bit and keeps it off the tongue, while the bottom hook allows for a mild "indirect" action that helps with bending, balancing, and lifting a shoulder without adding significant leverage.

Q: Is this bit legal for use in Dressage competitions?
A: While the MB 33 mouthpiece itself is often permitted, the "hooks" on this specific English Dee cheekpiece are generally not legal for sanctioned Dressage. This bit is a favorite for Show Jumping, Eventing schooling, and Trail Riding.
