Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 3 Wide Low Ported Barrel (MB 33WL): Features a 29mm port that allows the tongue to pass almost completely underneath, shifting pressure to the bars and lips for unmatched comfort.
• FEI & USEF Dressage Legal: Ride with confidence as this bit is fully approved for competition, meeting the strict 30mm port height regulations for both USEF (2012) and FEI (2016) standards.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The innovative mouthpiece allows each side to rotate independently, enabling precise, isolated rein cues for superior bending, balancing, and lifting.
• Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay: Constructed from durable, high-quality stainless steel with thin copper strips to promote salivation, relaxation, and bit acceptance.
• Built-in "Oversize" Gap: Manufactured 1/8" larger than the stated size to ensure the bit does not pinch the horse's lips, providing a safer and more comfortable fit than traditional bits.
• Loose Ring Cheekpiece: Offers a quick release of pressure and allows the horse to position the bit naturally, promoting self-carriage and a relaxed, mobile jaw.
• Anti-Collapse Design: The solid, ported barrel prevents the bit from collapsing or pinching the tongue, eliminating the "nutcracker" effect common in traditional jointed snaffles.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I select the right size for my horse?
A: Myler bits are intentionally built 1/8" larger than their stated size to prevent pinching. If your horse is a "tight" 5", stay with a 5" size; when fitted correctly, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on either side of the mouth.

Q: Is the MB 33 suitable for a horse that tosses its head or evades contact?
A: Yes, this bit is the "go-to" solution for horses showing resistance due to tongue pressure. By providing significant tongue relief, it encourages the horse to stop gapping the mouth or tossing the head, fostering a willing and responsive partnership for advanced performance.
