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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is still learning to stay on the bit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I use the English Dee with Hooks in Dressage competitions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22337\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46565710102749,"sku":"89-22337","price":175.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/upscaled-1774907766187.webp?v=1774907766","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-5-1-2-33-english-dee-with-hooks-89-22337","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
