Feel the immediate improvement in focus, comfort, and control.Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat kind of tongue relief does the Myler MB 33 mouthpiece offer, and what types of horses is it suitable for?The Myler MB 33 mouthpiece is celebrated for providing maximum tongue relief. It features a generously wide, low port (typically 1 1/2" high) designed to allow the horse's tongue to pass almost completely under the bit, minimizing direct tongue pressure and completely avoiding palate pressure. This design makes it one of Myler's mildest mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, classifying it as a Level 3 bit. It is an excellent choice for "finished," well-trained horses with a trustworthy and consistent disposition, especially those that respond well to leg and seat aids and benefit from significant tongue relief. We generally caution against its use for younger or less trained horses.How does the Pelham design work, and what rider skill level is recommended?The Myler MB 33 Pelham bit offers dual action, combining elements of both a snaffle (direct action) and a curb (leverage action). It provides versatility in leverage and control and can be used with two reins – one on the snaffle ring for direct action, and one on the lower curb ring for leverage – or with a bit converter for a single-rein setup. The curb chain, when properly adjusted, provides poll pressure when the leverage rein is engaged. Due to its leverage component, the Pelham bit is generally recommended for more experienced riders who possess the refined feel and understanding to use it effectively and humanely.What is the purpose of the copper inlay in the Myler MB 33 bit?The copper inlay is a deliberate design feature included to encourage natural salivation in the horse. The slight, sweet taste of the oxidizing copper often prompts a horse to salivate more, which can lead to a softer, more relaxed jaw and better overall acceptance of the bit. Increased salivation can enhance comfort and responsiveness during your ride, contributing to overall bit acceptance.Does the Myler MB 33 Pelham bit feature Independent Side Movement (ISM), and what are its benefits?Yes, the Myler MB 33 mouthpiece typically incorporates Independent Side Movement (ISM). This innovative feature means that the central barrel acts as a bushing, allowing each side of the mouthpiece to move independently of the other. ISM enables riders to give more precise, isolated cues for lateral flexion, bending, or "lifting" one side of the horse's body. This promotes clearer communication without confusing the horse, enhancing your ability to guide and refine your horse's movements.Is the Myler MB 33 Pelham bit legal for competitive disciplines?While an excellent training and riding bit, the Myler MB 33 Pelham bit is generally not considered legal for formal dressage competitions due to its leverage action and design. For other disciplines, legality can vary. Riders should always consult the specific rulebook for their equestrian discipline and sanctioning body (e.g., USEF, FEI) to confirm bit legality before competing.Product DetailsProduct Item Number (SKU): 89-26337Ready to transform your riding?
