Experience the ultimate in equine comfort and refined communication with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and reward your horse's softest response. The Myler MB 33 Baucher is the gold standard for finished horses, offering a stable, quiet feel that encourages relaxation and focus in every stride.

Engineered for the advanced horse that is light in the bridle and responsive to seat and leg aids, this Level 3 bit features Myler’s most generous tongue relief. The combination of a high-quality stainless steel Baucher cheek and a Sweet Iron mouthpiece creates a durable, performance-driven tool that promotes salivation and acceptance. By suspending the bit in the mouth, the hanging cheek design prevents the mouthpiece from sliding or drooping, making it the ideal choice for sensitive horses that crave stability and clear, nuanced cues.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Maximum Tongue Relief: The MB 33 mouthpiece features a 1 ½" (38mm) high port that allows the tongue to pass almost completely underneath, shifting pressure to the bars and lips for a milder, more comfortable experience.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Equipped with a central barrel that allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise one-sided cues for lifting a shoulder, bending, or balancing.
• Sweet Iron with Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is designed to oxidize, creating a sweet taste that encourages salivation and a softer, more responsive mouth compared to standard stainless steel.
• Stable Baucher Design: Also known as a "hanging cheek," this design keeps the mouthpiece stationary and suspended in the mouth, providing a steady feel for the horse and subtle poll pressure when engaged.
• Level 3 Performance: Specifically crafted for "finished" horses with advanced training who are accustomed to working off the rider's leg and seat and require the most sophisticated communication.
• Anatomical 5" Fit: Designed with a curved mouthpiece to wrap around the bars without pinching; follows the Myler "1/8-inch rule" to ensure a comfortable fit that doesn't crowd the horse's lips.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is the Myler MB 33 Baucher legal for Dressage competition?
A: While Baucher cheeks are common in dressage, this specific MB 33 model is generally NOT dressage legal in most organizations (such as USEF or FEI) because the port height of 38mm exceeds the standard 30mm limit. It remains a premier choice for schooling, show jumping, and eventing jumping phases.

Q: How does the Baucher cheek benefit a sensitive horse?
A: The Baucher cheek is a "fixed" cheek, meaning it doesn't slide on the mouthpiece. This provides immense stability, preventing the bit from moving or clanking against the teeth, which is often the primary cause of fussiness in sensitive horses.
