Independent Side Movement (ISM): Each side of the bit moves independently, allowing for isolated cues and preventing the mouthpiece from dragging or collapsing. 3 3/4" English Dee with Hooks: Features two internal hooks for flexible rein and bridle attachment, offering both direct and mild indirect action for enhanced stability. Copper Inlay Strips: Strategically placed along the stainless steel mouthpiece to encourage salivation and promote bit acceptance. Premium Stainless Steel: Ensures exceptional durability, longevity, and a professional finish for years of consistent performance. Optimized for Finished Horses: Specifically designed for well-trained horses that are responsive to seat and leg aids and require minimal tongue pressure.Frequently Asked Questions:Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?A: Myler bits are designed to run slightly large to protect the bars of the mouth. When fitted correctly, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible between the horse’s lips and the cheekpiece on both sides.Q: What is the benefit of using the hooks on the Dee ring?A: The hooks offer incredible versatility; attaching the headstall to the top hook stabilizes the bit and keeps it off the tongue, while the bottom hook allows for a mild "indirect" action that helps with bending, balancing, and lifting a shoulder without adding significant leverage.Q: Is this bit legal for use in Dressage competitions?A: While the MB 33 mouthpiece itself is often permitted, the "hooks" on this specific English Dee cheekpiece are generally not legal for sanctioned Dressage. This bit is a favorite for Show Jumping, Eventing schooling, and Trail Riding.Item Number/SKU: 89-22335
