Myler Dee Snaffle Bit with Hooks - MB 43LP Low Ported, Stainless Steel & Copper Inlay, Level 2-3

Refine your communication and enhance your horse's performance with the Myler Dee Snaffle Bit with Hooks. Featuring the advanced MB 43LP mouthpiece, this Level 2-3 bit is specifically designed for horses that have a basic disposition but require more tongue relief and clearer, more isolated cues than a standard snaffle provides.

This precision-engineered Myler bit is crafted from high-quality stainless steel with copper inlays to promote salivation and a soft, responsive mouth. The MB 43LP mouthpiece is an ideal horse training bit for the horse that is progressing in its education, offering a 1/4" low port that allows the tongue to pass under the bit while applying mild pressure to the bars for superior control without discomfort.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2-3 MB 43LP Mouthpiece: Designed for horses ready for advanced communication, the 1/4" low port provides significant tongue relief while maintaining clear bar pressure for refined signals.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The internal bushing allows each side of the bit to move independently. This enables the rider to isolate one side of the horse's mouth to lift a shoulder or flex at the poll without the collapsing "nutcracker" action of a traditional jointed snaffle.
• Integrated Dee Ring Hooks: The strategically placed slots allow for a "fixed" attachment of the headstall and reins. This provides added stability, prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth, and offers a small amount of poll pressure to encourage a correct frame.
• Anatomical Curve: The low port snaffle is ergonomically curved to follow the natural contours of the horse's mouth, distributing pressure evenly across the bars and lips for maximum comfort.
• Copper Inlay Technology: Naturally encourages moisture and relaxation in the jaw, helping the horse stay focused on the rider's cues.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Forged for durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring this tongue relief bit remains a staple in your tack room for years to come.
• Versatile Sizing: Available in Standard sizes (5" and 5.5" with 3 ¾" Dee rings) and Pony sizes (4.25", 4.5", and 4.75" with 3" Dee rings).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What makes the MB 43LP different from a Level 2 mouthpiece?
A: The MB 43LP is a Level 2-3 mouthpiece, meaning it offers more tongue relief than a Level 2 bit. 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.

Q: Is this Myler Dee Snaffle legal for use in Dressage?
A: 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.

Q: How do the hooks affect the bit's action?
A: 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.
