Myler MB 33 English Dee with Hooks Horse Bit - 5 1/2" Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay

Achieve the ultimate level of refined communication and reward your finished horse with the maximum tongue relief they deserve. This Myler bit provides the precision needed for subtle cues while fostering a relaxed, willing partnership through unparalleled comfort.

Engineered for the elite equine athlete, this bit features Myler’s signature Level 3 mouthpiece, designed specifically for horses that are light to the aids and require minimal tongue pressure. Crafted from durable stainless steel with a sweet iron mouthpiece, it combines structural integrity with a taste-profile that encourages salivation and a soft, responsive jaw.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 MB 33 Mouthpiece: Features a 1 ½" low port that provides maximum tongue relief, shifting pressure to the bars and lips for horses that are "finished" in their training.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Each side of the bit rotates independently, allowing you to isolate cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder without increasing leverage.
• English Dee with Hooks: Provides versatile rein positions and enhanced stability, allowing for direct rein action or the addition of mild poll pressure and a curb strap.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and a more relaxed, supple mouth.
• 5 1/2" Mouthpiece Width: Sized to accommodate the distinct Myler curve, ensuring a comfortable fit that prevents the ends from pinching the horse's cheeks.
• Zero-Degree Leverage: A gentle one-to-one ratio of shank to purchase ensures a soft touch on the reins, encouraging a lighter feel and a willing attitude.
• High-Quality Stainless Steel: The cheekpieces are constructed from rust-resistant stainless steel for long-lasting durability and consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why does this Myler bit require a larger size than my traditional bits?
A: Myler bits feature a distinct forward curve to accommodate the tongue. To prevent the mouthpiece from pinching the cheeks, we recommend the "1/8" to 1/4" rule"—ensure that a small portion of the mouthpiece is visible on each side of the mouth for the most comfortable and effective fit.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is still learning to stay on the bit?
A: The MB 33 is a Level 3 mouthpiece designed for "finished" horses that are already consistent in their response to seat and leg aids. If your horse is still in the early stages of training or requires more tongue pressure to focus, a Level 1 or Level 2 Myler bit may be more appropriate to build their confidence.

Q: Can I use the English Dee with Hooks in Dressage competitions?
A: While the Dee ring is a classic English look, the combination of the ported MB 33 mouthpiece and the integrated hooks typically makes this bit illegal for USEF/FEI Dressage. However, it is an exceptional choice for Hunters, Jumpers, and Eventing where stability and nuanced communication are paramount.
