Myler Weymouth 43LP Low Port Curb Horse Bit for Dressage - 5" Mouth Size

Refined Communication for the Advancing Horse

Finding the right balance in a double bridle is essential for upper-level success, and the Myler Weymouth 43LP (5" Mouth) is designed to provide exactly that. This Level 2-3 bit is a favorite among riders who need to offer their horse more tongue relief while maintaining the technical precision required for dressage and advanced schooling.

Built with Myler’s legendary attention to detail, this Weymouth helps your horse stay soft in the bridle by eliminating the pinching and collapsing common in traditional bits. From our barn to yours, we know that a comfortable horse is a performing horse, and the 43LP is engineered to keep the lines of communication clear and built for the long haul.

Key Benefits of the Myler 43LP

• Independent Side Movement: Each side of the bit moves independently, allowing for incredibly precise lateral aids and clearer communication than standard solid-bar Weymouths.
• Superior Tongue Relief: The Narrow Low Ported Barrel design protects the tongue from pressure, encouraging the horse to relax and accept the bit more readily.
• Pinch-Free Design: The central barrel prevents the bit from collapsing or "nutcrackering," which protects the sensitive bars and the roof of the mouth.
• Level 2-3 Performance: Specifically tailored for horses that are advancing in their training and require more sophisticated cues without unnecessary restriction.

Best For

Dressage riders and trainers looking for a technical Weymouth that provides tongue relief and independent lateral aids for a more refined connection in the double bridle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How should I size the Myler Weymouth 43LP compared to my bridoon?

When fitting a double bridle, the Weymouth is typically sized 1/4" smaller than your accompanying bridoon (snaffle) bit, as the Weymouth sits lower on a slightly narrower part of the horse's jaw.

Q: What is the "Myler Gap" and why does it matter?

The "Myler Gap" is the 1/8" to 1/4" of clearance on each side of the horse's lips. This ensures the Independent Side Movement of the Myler Weymouth 43LP functions correctly without the shanks rubbing against the horse's face.

Q: Is this bit legal for USEF or FEI competition?

The 43LP is a popular choice for dressage; however, you should measure the port height to ensure it meets the 30mm (approx. 1.18") limit required by many governing bodies, as some variations may vary slightly in height.
