When used without the optional hooks, the MB 01 mouthpiece is generally USEF and FEI Dressage legal; however, we always recommend verifying with your specific association’s current rulebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why does the bit appear slightly wider than my horse's standard size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This is a signature Myler design feature. Myler bits are crafted 1\/8” to 1\/4” larger than their stated size to allow the mouthpiece to sit properly outside the lips. This extra width is essential for the Independent Side Movement to function correctly and to prevent the cheekpieces from pinching the horse’s face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does a Level 1 bit differ from a Level 2?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A Level 1 bit, like this MB 01, is designed for horses just starting their training or those that need to learn to give to the bit. It features a curved mouthpiece with no port, providing a gentle \"restrict and release\" action that teaches the horse to respond to tongue pressure without harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 89-22015\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Myler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42250691805405,"sku":"89-22015","price":167.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_47a56f1d-0f4e-48a4-abe9-5bbfdc74ad3b.webp?v=1767060062","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/myler-english-dee-snaffle-bit-hooks-mb-01-comfort-snaffle-level-1-5","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
