Myler MB 33 Loose Ring Snaffle - Level 3 Low Wide Ported Barrel Dressage Legal Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay

Transform your horse's focus and relaxation with the only USEF Level 3 dressage-legal bit designed to provide ultimate tongue relief for sensitive equine partners. By eliminating pressure-induced resistance like head tossing and contact evasion, the Myler MB 33 creates a refined, willing connection that elevates your performance in the show ring.

Meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel, this bit features a Wide Low Ported Barrel (MB 33WL) that prioritizes the horse's anatomy while offering the rider sophisticated, nuanced control. The integration of copper inlays naturally encourages salivation and a softer mouth, while the Level 3 design caters specifically to finished horses that respond best to subtle communication and reward-based releases.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Maximum Tongue Relief: The 1.5-inch wide low port (MB 33WL) creates generous space for the tongue, shifting pressure to the bars and lips to eliminate resistance in sensitive or fleshy-tongued horses.
• Dressage Legal Performance: Ride with total confidence knowing this is the only Level 3 mouthpiece approved for USEF (effective 1/2012) and FEI (effective 7/2016) dressage competitions.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The innovative barrel design allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise, isolated cues for bending, balancing, and lifting the shoulder.
• Loose Ring Design: Provides a rapid speed of release and immediate reward when the horse complies, while the free-sliding rings prevent the mouthpiece from being fixed for a more forgiving feel.
• Copper Inlay Technology: Strategically placed copper inlays promote salivation and bit acceptance, fostering a moist, responsive mouth for superior communication.
• Level 3 Engineering: Specifically designed for "finished" or performance-level horses that are already responsive to seat and leg aids and require minimal rein pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit to prevent pinching?
A: To prevent the loose rings from pinching the horse's lips, follow the "1/4-inch rule" by ensuring 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece is visible on each side. Because Myler bits typically run 1/8" larger than standard bits, we recommend sizing up if your horse falls between sizes to maintain this necessary clearance.

Q: Is my horse ready for a Level 3 mouthpiece like the MB 33?
A: This bit is ideal for "finished" horses that are trustworthy and responsive to leg and seat aids. If your horse shows signs of tongue sensitivity—such as head tossing or gapping the mouth—but otherwise requires little correction, the MB 33 will provide the comfort they need to relax and perform at their peak.
