Frequently Asked Questions

What is the MB 33 mouthpiece and how does it benefit my horse's comfort?

The MB 33 is a "sweet iron" mouthpiece with a copper inlay, featuring a generous medium-wide ported barrel. This design offers the highest degree of tongue relief within the Myler system, significantly reducing direct pressure on the tongue. This allows your horse to swallow freely and comfortably, encouraging them to relax their jaw and accept the bit more readily. It's especially beneficial for horses with larger or sensitive tongues, promoting a more comfortable and willing partnership.

What level of horse training is this Myler bit suitable for?

This Myler bit is classified as a Level 3 bit, meaning it is specifically designed for "finished" horses. These are well-trained equines with a trustworthy disposition that primarily respond to seat and leg aids rather than heavy rein pressure. It's ideal for refining responsiveness and communication with horses that understand subtle cues and need precision, but it is not recommended for younger or less-trained horses.

What is Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it enhance communication?

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key feature of the MB 33 mouthpiece, allowing each side of the bit to move independently. This innovative design provides clearer, isolated signals to your horse. You can cue for lateral flexion, balance, or lift a shoulder without engaging the entire bit, which refines your aids and enables more precise communication, leading to improved responsiveness.

What kind of leverage and pressure points does the seven-shank design provide?

The 6 3/4" black steel seven-shank design provides a mild to moderate level of indirect leverage. This leverage primarily works off the bars of the mouth, lips, chin (via a curb strap), and the poll. Crucially, the MB 33 mouthpiece with its generous port ensures there is little to no palate pressure, distributing pressure points thoughtfully for effective communication without harshness.

Why is the MB 33 mouthpiece considered mild, even with a shank?

Despite being paired with a shank, the MB 33 mouthpiece is considered very mild due to its non-collapsing design and significant tongue relief provided by the medium-wide port. This design minimizes discomfort often associated with traditional bits that exert direct tongue pressure. The sweet iron construction with copper inlay also encourages salivation, further promoting a soft mouth and overall relaxation, leading to a horse that is more accepting and comfortable with the bit.
