Myler MB 33 Curb Bit with Flat Shank - Sweet Iron Ported Barrel Level 3 Mouthpiece with Copper Inlay

Transform your communication from a struggle into a subtle conversation with the Myler MB 33 Curb Bit, designed specifically for the finished horse that demands maximum comfort. By providing unparalleled tongue relief, this bit encourages a relaxed, responsive mouth, allowing your horse to perform at their peak without the distraction of pressure.

Crafted with Myler’s signature Sweet Iron and strategic copper inlays, this Level 3 mouthpiece is engineered to naturally oxidize, creating a sweet taste that promotes salivation and bit acceptance. The innovative design prioritizes the horse’s anatomy, utilizing a low, wide port to eliminate tongue pressure while the 7-inch flat shanks provide the leverage needed for sophisticated, nuanced cues in Western performance or trail riding.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 Tongue Relief: Features a 1 ½" (approx. 31mm) port height that offers Myler’s highest level of tongue freedom, making it the ultimate choice for sensitive or finished horses.
• Independent Side Movement: The signature central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise lateral cues and preventing the pinching common in traditional curb bits.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece naturally oxidizes to create a desirable taste that encourages salivation, jaw relaxation, and a softer, more accepting mouth.
• 7-Inch Flat Shank: Delivers mild to moderate leverage for refined communication, working effectively off the bars, lips, chin, and poll for total control with minimal effort.
• The 1/8-Inch Fit Rule: Specifically designed to be worn 1/8" to 1/4" wider than the horse’s actual mouth measurement to ensure the curved bars sit comfortably without pinching the lips.
• Advanced Western Refinement: Ideal for "finished" horses that are light in the hand and solid in their foundation, responding primarily to seat and leg aids.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for my horse given Myler's unique sizing?
A: Myler bits are designed with a specific curvature to protect the lips; we recommend selecting a size 1/8" to 1/4" wider than your horse's actual mouth measurement. Please note that the bit itself is manufactured approximately 1/8" larger than the labeled size to accommodate this ergonomic, pinch-free fit.

Q: Is the Myler MB 33 legal for Dressage competition?
A: No, while the MB 33 is highly effective for English and Western riding, the 31mm port height exceeds the 30mm limit for Dressage legality. For riders requiring Dressage-legal equipment with similar benefits, the MB 33WL version is the recommended alternative.
