Frequently Asked QuestionsHow does this bit ensure my horse's comfort, especially regarding tongue pressure?The Myler 33 features the MB 33 mouthpiece, renowned as the mildest Myler design for tongue pressure. Its generously wide, low 1.5-inch port provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and relax. This design primarily works off the bars, lips, chin, and poll, effectively minimizing any palate pressure for ultimate comfort.Is this bit right for my horse's training level?The Myler 33 is classified as a Level 3 bit, making it ideally suited for "finished" or highly trained horses. These are horses with a consistent and trustworthy disposition that are already responsive to subtle cues from the rider's leg and seat. It's designed for fine-tuning communication rather than applying heavy direct tongue pressure.What are the "hooks" for, and how do they enhance communication?The "hooks" on the English Dee cheekpiece allow for versatile bridle and rein attachment. Attaching the headstall to the top hook stabilizes the bit, helping to hold it off the tongue when no pressure is applied. This results in clearer signals and a rewarding release. Attaching the reins to the bottom hook enhances the bit's Independent Side Movement (ISM), enabling precise, isolated cues for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder. Using these hooks enhances control and communication without adding leverage.Can I use this bit in dressage competitions?While the Myler MB 33 mouthpiece itself can be dressage legal when paired with certain cheekpieces, the "hooks" on this particular English Dee bit are generally **not permitted** in official dressage competitions. Please check the specific rules of your governing equestrian body.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-22335Ready to experience superior communication and unparalleled comfort for your horse?
