Myler Dee without Hooks and Narrow Low Ported Barrel MB 43LP

Myler® Stainless Steel 3 3/4" Dee, MB 43LP Narrow Low Ported Barrel, Level 2-3. The MB 43LP does not rotate on to the tongue; it sits solidly across the bars and lips of the horse’s mouth. The port is narrower than a Myler Level 3 mouthpiece, but still offers room for the horse’s tongue to pass under the bit.

Because the port is narrow, when the reins are engaged, the horse will feel a slight pressure on the outside edges of the tongue—a gentle reminder rather than a strong reprimand. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1.25" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure.

This bit has the mildest of the Level 2-3 mouthpieces in terms of tongue pressure, just one step below a Level 3 mouthpiece.

Key features:

• Independent Side Movement™
• Stainless steel mouthpiece.
• Curved mouthpiece does not pinch lips and bars.
• Copper inlay to promote salivation.

Notes:

• For more tongue pressure, see the MB 27LP or MB 27PB.
• For the correctional version of this mouthpiece, see the MB 41PB.
• For more tongue relief and Level 3 version of this bit, see the MB 33.

The dee without hooks is a traditional D-shaped cheek with fixed attachment of the mouthpiece. This style keeps the mouthpiece from draping on the tongue, providing a more direct signal than the loose ring. The straight side of the dee will not pull through the mouth and does not pinch.

Note: For a more versatile version of the cheek piece, see the English dee with hooks or the eggbutt with hooks.
