Achieve a new level of softness and clarity by providing your horse with the ultimate tongue relief they’ve been searching for. The Myler 33WL Eggbutt Snaffle eliminates resistance and promotes a relaxed, willing connection, making it the premier choice for the refined dressage partner.

Engineered for the "finished" horse, this Level 3 bit features Myler’s signature stainless steel construction and a copper inlay mouthpiece designed to stimulate salivation and acceptance. The innovative Independent Side Movement (ISM) allows for nuanced communication, ensuring that every lateral aid is delivered with surgical accuracy while the ergonomic curve protects the sensitive bars and lips from pinching or discomfort.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 Tongue Relief: Features the MB 33WL wide ported barrel, offering the highest degree of tongue room to minimize pressure and encourage natural swallowing.
• USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Fully compliant with competition regulations (USEF since 2012, FEI since 2016), ensuring you can compete with confidence at the highest levels.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The mouthpiece is designed so each side moves independently, allowing riders to lift a shoulder or isolate lateral aids without disturbing the opposite side of the mouth.
• Ergonomic Curved Mouthpiece: The 5 1/2 inch mouthpiece is anatomically shaped to wrap comfortably around the bars and lips, preventing the "nutcracker" effect and pinching.
• Copper Inlay Mouth: Integrated copper strips promote salivation and a moist, soft mouth, significantly enhancing bit acceptance and relaxation.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpiece: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel to provide a steady feel and prevent skin pinching at the corners of the horse's mouth.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How should I size the Myler 33WL compared to a traditional snaffle?
A: Myler bits are designed with a forward curve and typically run 1/8" to 1/4" larger than their advertised size. For a proper fit, you should see a small gap of 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on both sides of the horse's mouth to ensure the curve sits comfortably without pinching the lips.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a young horse just starting their training?
A: No, the 33WL is a Level 3 bit intended for "finished" horses that are consistently trained and light in the bridle. It is specifically designed for horses that require maximum tongue relief and are ready for refined, subtle communication rather than the basic education provided by Level 1 or 2 bits.

Q: Does the wide port make this bit illegal for dressage?
A: Not at all. The Myler 33WL is specifically designed to be dressage legal for both USEF and FEI competition, provided the port height remains under 30mm, making it a top choice for competitive riders seeking legal tongue relief.
