Myler MB 33 Pony Dee Snaffle Bit - 4 1/2" Mouthpiece - Stainless Steel & Copper Inlay - Level 3 Ported Barrel

Unlock the ultimate level of communication and comfort for your finished pony with the Myler MB 33, specifically engineered to reward a soft mouth with maximum tongue relief. This bit transforms subtle aids into precise performance, ensuring your pony stays relaxed, focused, and willing through every transition and lateral movement.

Crafted from premium, rust-resistant stainless steel with strategic copper inlays, the MB 33 represents the pinnacle of Myler’s Level 3 design. By utilizing a 1.5-inch wide, low port, this bit shifts pressure away from the sensitive tongue and onto the bars and lips, while the innovative Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows for the isolated lateral cues that advanced schooling and refined riders demand.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 3 Mouthpiece: Features a 1.5" low, wide port (MB 33) that provides maximum tongue relief, making it the mildest option for well-trained, "finished" ponies.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The unique barrel design allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling sophisticated, isolated cues for bending and balancing.
• Pony-Specific Proportions: Scaled perfectly for smaller faces with 3-inch stainless steel Dee rings and a 4.5-inch mouthpiece width to ensure a stable, comfortable fit.
• Copper Inlay Technology: Strategic copper strips stimulate natural salivation, promoting bit acceptance and maintaining a soft, responsive mouth during work.
• Fixed Dee Ring Design: Provides exceptional lateral stability and prevents the bit from sliding through the mouth, ensuring clear and direct turning signals.
• Ergonomic Curved Mouthpiece: Anatomically shaped to wrap around the bars and lips rather than pinching, reducing the "nutcracker" effect and palate pressure.
• Competition Legal: This design is widely popular in Hunter and Performance divisions and was FEI Dressage legal as of 7/2016 (always verify current specific organization rules).

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the Myler MB 33 suitable for a green pony or one that is strong in the hand?
A: No, the MB 33 is a Level 3 bit intended for "finished" ponies that are already responsive to leg and seat aids. Green ponies or those that require more guidance usually benefit from the direct tongue pressure found in Myler Level 1 or 2 mouthpieces.

Q: How should I check for the correct fit and the "Myler Gap"?
A: Because of the ergonomic curve, Myler recommends a fit where 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece is visible on each side of the lips; this ensures the port is centered correctly and the Independent Side Movement functions as intended.
