Myler® Dee with Hooks and Correctional Ported Barrel MB 41PB

Myler ® Stainless Steel 3 3/4″ Dee with Hooks, MB 41PB Correctional Ported Barrel, Level 2-3.

The MB 41PB is a ported correctional Myler mouthpiece that collapses onto the outer lip and bars and rotates onto the tongue when reins are engaged. The port has a tiered design; the base is generously wide with rounded corners, offering virtually the same comfort and tongue relief of a Level 3 mouthpiece, while the top is narrower and has pronounced corners. If the horse is relaxed, the tongue can pass comfortably under the wide opening.

The pronounced corners of the port apply two points of pressure on the tongue for increased control. The result is a mouthpiece that offers maximum tongue relief for the horse, but very good control for the rider. The unique design and the generous tongue relief of the MB 41PB make it the only correctional that can be used long term, possibly even as a horse’s finishing bit.

Notes:

• The MB 41PB used with Western cheek pieces is 1 1/4″ high. When used with English cheek pieces and the Combination Bit, it is 3/4″ high.
• For a non-correctional mouthpiece with the same tongue relief, see the MB 33.
• For slightly more tongue pressure, see the MB 43LP.
• For quicker tongue pressure and less tongue relief, see the correctional MB 27PB.

Dee with hooks: 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 allows 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.

Action: Direct rein action when reins are not attached through rein hook. Indirect rein action when rein is fixed on rein hook.

Degree of Leverage: Little to no leverage when the hooks are used.
