Myler Western Dee with 2 Hooks MB 33 Ported Barrel Horse Bit - Sweet Iron Level 3 - Multiple Sizes

Reward your finished horse’s sensitivity with the ultimate level of refinement and maximum tongue relief. The Myler MB 33 Western Dee fosters a soft, harmonious partnership by providing a clear "pre-signal" that encourages responsiveness without the need for heavy leverage.

Engineered by Toklat for the advanced equestrian, this Level 3 bit is the pinnacle of physiological comfort, combining a polished sweet iron mouthpiece with durable stainless steel. The innovative ported barrel design allows for independent side movement, enabling you to isolate cues for bending and balancing while the sweet iron naturally encourages salivation for a more pliable, relaxed jaw.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 Performance: Expertly crafted for finished horses that respond to subtle hand, leg, and seat cues, promoting sophisticated collection and athleticism.
• MB 33 Ported Barrel: Features a 1.5" wide, low port that provides maximum tongue relief by shifting pressure to the bars and lips, allowing for easy swallowing.
• Two-Hook Western Dee: Integrated slots fix the headstall and reins in place to provide a "pre-signal" and exceptional stability in the mouth without adding shank leverage.
• Independent Side Movement: The jointed mouthpiece allows each side to move independently, enabling precise, isolated rein cues for lifting a shoulder or refining lateral flexion.
• Sweet Iron Mouthpiece: This material naturally oxidizes to create a sweet taste that encourages salivation, promoting a relaxed jaw and a soft, responsive mouth.
• Precision 5" Sizing: Manufactured 1/8" wider than the labeled size (measuring 5 1/8") to ensure a 1/16" to 1/8" clearance on either side of the mouth, preventing the Dee rings from pinching the cheeks.
• Premium Materials: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for superior durability, rust resistance, and a professional polished finish.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse still in training?
A: The MB 33 is a Level 3 bit designed specifically for "finished" horses that are light in the mouth and respond primarily to seat and leg cues. It is the mildest Myler mouthpiece, intended to reward a horse that has already established a soft, consistent frame.

Q: Why does the bit measure 5 1/8" if it is labeled as a 5" bit?
A: This follows the Myler "1/8 Inch" sizing rule. The extra width is intentional to provide necessary clearance on both sides of the mouth, ensuring the Western Dee rings do not rub or pinch your horse's face during lateral work.

Q: What is the benefit of the "2 Hooks" on a Western Dee?
A: The hooks allow you to fix the headstall and reins in a specific position. This creates a "pre-signal" where the horse feels the bit engage before the mouthpiece moves, offering more stability and communication than a traditional sliding ring without adding the leverage of a shank.
