The MB 33 is the mildest Myler mouthpiece in terms of tongue pressure. The generously wide port allows room for the tongue to pass almost completely under the bit. Because this mouthpiece does not rotate on to the tongue and the port is wide, it applies little to no tongue pressure, working primarily off the lips and bars. The port on this mouthpiece is only 1 ½" high, so it will apply little to no palate pressure.
the MB 33 offers such a high degree of tongue relief, the horse that goes well in this mouthpiece has a trustworthy and consistent disposition, and is trained to work off the leg and seat as well as the hands. Sweet iron mouthpiece oxidizes and encourages salivation.
Notes: For less tongue relief and a level 2-3 bit, see the C2 Cradle with MB 43LP. For the same tongue relief in a shank bit, see the B3 Shank with MB 33.
The Parelli Cradle bit is a modified version of a Myler Combination Bit. The cradle is a hybrid of ring bit, shank bit and hackamore. A purchase ring with specially designed connectors for the noseband and chin strap sits atop a large center ring where the mouthpiece is attached. Unlike the other Myler combination bits, the rein attachment is built into the ring where the mouthpiece is attached. The noseband is flat braided nylon cord. The chin strap is knotted. The cradle bit has the Independent Swivel Cheek.
