Myler MB 33WL Eggbutt Snaffle Wide Ported Barrel Horse Bit - Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay, Dressage Legal Level 3

Stop struggling with tongue resistance and achieve the soft, consistent contact your dressage horse deserves. The Myler MB 33WL Eggbutt Snaffle provides maximum tongue relief and independent side movement to transform your communication into a subtle, harmonious conversation.

Engineered specifically for the "finished" horse that is light to the aids, this Level 3 mouthpiece represents the pinnacle of Myler’s ergonomic design. By utilizing a wide, low-ported barrel and curved bars, it redistributes pressure away from the sensitive tongue and onto the bars and lips, encouraging your horse to stretch confidently into the contact without the need for constant correction or the "gaping" often seen with traditional jointed bits.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 Tongue Relief: Features a 29mm high, wide ported barrel that offers the maximum tongue room possible, making it the premier choice for horses with sensitive tongues or those who resist contact.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The innovative central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling you to give precise lateral aids and lift a single shoulder without the entire bit rotating.
• Dressage Legal Design: Ride with confidence in the show ring; this bit is fully approved for USEF (since 2012) and FEI (since 2016) dressage competitions in the snaffle bridle category.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpiece: The fixed, egg-shaped rings provide superior stability in the horse's mouth, preventing the bit from sliding and reducing the risk of pinching at the corners of the lips.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Constructed from durable stainless steel with strategic copper inlays to encourage natural salivation, leading to a softer, more supple jaw and better bit acceptance.
• Ergonomic Curved Bars: The mouthpiece is anatomically shaped to wrap around the bars and lips rather than pinching them, ensuring the bit sits comfortably within the natural contours of the horse's mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I have the correct size for a Myler bit?
A: Unlike traditional snaffles, a Myler bit should have 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit visible on either side of the horse's mouth. If the bit sits flush against the lips, the curved bars may pinch the bars of the mouth; if you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up to ensure the "Myler Fit."

Q: Is the MB 33WL appropriate for a young or green horse?
A: No, this is a Level 3 mouthpiece designed for "finished" horses with advanced training. It is intended for horses that are already responsive to seat and leg aids and require a bit that rewards their lightness with maximum tongue relief.

Q: Why choose an Eggbutt over a Loose Ring for dressage?
A: Dressage riders often prefer the Eggbutt cheekpiece because it provides a more stable, consistent feel. It prevents the bit from being pulled through the mouth and offers a "still" contact that helps the horse stay focused on the rider's subtle hand cues.
