Level 3 :
The Myler® Ported Barrel D-Ring Bit with Hooks MB 33 is a
Level 3 bit intended for horses
considered finished. It utilizes mostly bar pressure and has a port for generous tongue relief. This bit has a free-rotating barrel and a curved mouthpiece that will never pinch. Level 3 are c
urb bits with wider ports for maximum tongue relief, little to no tongue pressure • Uses primarily bar, poll, and curb pressure • Curves to allow more room for the tongue
The MB 33 is the mildest Myler mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows room for the tongue to pass almost completely under the bit. Because this mouthpiece does not rotate on to the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure, working primarily off the lips and bars. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ½" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure. Because the MB 33 offers such a high degree of tongue relief, thehorse that goes well in this mouthpiece has a trustworthy and consistent disposition, and is trained to work off the leg and seat as well as the hands.

NOT Dressage Legal
The hooks make this a much more versatile version of the dee without hooks. Attaching the headstall to the top hook holds the bit in the correct position instead of allowing it to slide around the bridle cheek pieces. Attaching the reins to the rein hooks allow the rider to lift the cheek and use the Independent Side Movement™ of the mouthpiece. Using the hooks does not add leverage but allows the rider to transition from a direct rein action to indirect action without changing the bit. Adding a curb strap (using a Myler curb strap kit) incorporates curb pressure. Curb pressure is recommended for ported mouthpieces.

1. Curved Mouthpiece The distinctive curve creates more room for the tongue to pass under the bit so the horse can swallow more freely. AlthoughLevel 1 mouthpieces have a more pronounced curve, all Myler mouthpieces are curved to some degree.
2. Independent Side Movement The barrel in the center actsas a bushing, allowing each side of the bit to move independently of the other.When you lift one rein, only one side of the bit moves, giving the horse a veryclear signal. Provides excellent shoulder control as well as lateral flexion.Look for this icon on p. 8 –9 to find mouthpieces with this feature.
3. Modified Snaffle Cheeks – “Hooks” The “hooks” are slots (English dee or eggbutt) or rings (Western dee) that keep the bridle fixed in place and create two rein positions. Attach the reins directly to the ring (a)for standard direct rein action or to the hook (b) to lift the cheek and use theIndependent Side Movement, adding little to no leverage. The English dee and eggbutt also have a hole on the top of each cheek (c) for a curb chain so you can transition from direct rein to indirect rein without changing the bit or increasing the leverage.
