It is intended for horses that are consistent in their work but may become resistant to tongue pressure, providing a more comfortable \"home\" for the tongue while maintaining precise control via the bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this Myler Dee Snaffle legal for use in Dressage?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No. While the MB 43LP mouthpiece itself may be permitted in certain configurations, any bit with \"Hooks\" (which create a fixed rein attachment and poll pressure) is generally not legal for USEF\/FEI Dressage competitions. This bit is highly recommended for schooling, jumping, and western disciplines where refined lateral control is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How do the hooks affect the bit's action?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The hooks give the rider two options. By using the hooks, you create a more stable position in the mouth and gain a slight leverage effect (poll pressure). If you prefer a traditional sliding action, you can attach the reins directly to the Dee ring, bypassing the hooks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22435\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250692165853,"sku":"89-22435","price":183.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_22e58ccc-50f6-4d69-bfcc-2a0c5ab5306f.webp?v=1767060163","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-dee-snaffle-bit-hooks-mb-43lp-low-ported-5-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
