THREE-RING COMBO BARREL - LEVEL 3
The MB 33 is Myler's softest mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows the tongue to pass almost completely under the bit. Because this mouthpiece doesn't rotate on the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little or no pressure on the tongue, working mainly on the lips and bars. The port of this mouthpiece measures only 1 ½"high, so it will apply little or no pressure to the roof of the mouth. Because the MB 33 offers such a high degree of tongue relief, the horse that goes well in this mouthpiece has a reliable, consistent disposition, and is trained to work the leg and seat as well as the hands The soft iron mouthpiece oxidizes and promotes salivation.
- Independent lateral movement
- Soft iron mouthpiece
- Curved mouthpiece
- Copper inlay
The 15.2 cm stainless steel 3-ring combination bit is a hybrid of a ring bit, a shank bit and a hackamore, and uses five different pressure points to disperse rein pressure. Because the noseband and chin strap are connected at the time of purchase, when the reins are engaged, the horse first feels the pressure of the nose, chin and neck before feeling the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can slide 1" before reaching a stop, where it will engage and apply pressure.
The aim is to give the horse a chance to respond to the rider's rein signals before applying pressure to the mouthpiece. The combination mouthpiece has an independent pivoting cheek and the purchase is angled slightly away from the cheek to avoid rubbing. The noseband is made of flat leather with cord knotted on each side, and the chin strap is synthetic to prevent stretching over time.
