Unlock Your Horse's Potential with Advanced Features:

• 14mm Mullen Low Port Barrel (MB 06): This ergonomic design provides gentle, even pressure across the tongue and bars, offering crucial tongue relief that encourages your horse to swallow, relax, and accept the bit. It's curved to prevent palate interference, promoting ultimate comfort.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): A hallmark of Myler bits, ISM allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently. This enables clearer, more precise rein cues for subtle lateral flexion, shoulder control, and nuanced communication without engaging the entire mouth.
• Eggbutt Cheekpiece Design: Enjoy enhanced stability in the mouth and prevents pinching of the lips. This fixed design provides consistent, reassuring contact, which many horses, particularly sensitive ones, prefer for a steadier connection.
• Dressage Legal (USEF & FEI Approved): Ride with confidence and peace of mind knowing this bit meets the stringent requirements for both USEF and FEI dressage competitions. Step into the show ring knowing your tack is compliant.
• Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from high-quality stainless steel for superior durability and longevity, ensuring this bit stands up to years of rigorous use. It's also exceptionally easy to clean and hygienic.
• Copper Inlay Mouth: Strategically placed copper encourages natural salivation and greater acceptance of the bit, promoting a softer, more responsive mouth and a willing partnership.

This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit, featuring the MB 06 mouthpiece, is an ideal choice for horses that have completed basic training, are ready for more tongue relief, and are progressing comfortably from a Level 1 bit. It's particularly well-suited for horses in the Myler Bitting System's Level 2-3 range, encouraging a deeper understanding between horse and rider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit legal for competitive dressage?

Yes, absolutely! This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit with the MB 06 mouthpiece is approved and legal for both USEF and FEI dressage competitions. Riders can confidently use this bit in the show ring, knowing it complies with current regulations. We always recommend checking the latest rulebooks of your specific governing body for any updates or nuances.

How does the Mullen Low Port (Myler Bit mouthpiece MB 06) design benefit my horse, and what is Independent Side Movement?

The 14mm Mullen Low Port (MB 06) is ergonomically designed to provide significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to comfortably swallow and relax their jaw. This curved, slight port distributes pressure evenly across the bars and lips of the horse's mouth without interfering with the palate. This gentle, consistent pressure encourages the horse to soften and accept the bit, promoting a more relaxed and responsive connection.

Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a key innovation allowing each side of the mouthpiece to move independently. This feature significantly enhances communication by enabling the rider to give more precise, one-sided rein cues, leading to clearer aids for lateral flexion, shoulder control, and a nuanced understanding between horse and rider.

Which Myler Bitting System Level is this bit, and what horses is it best suited for?

This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit features the MB 06 mouthpiece, placing it within Myler Bitting System Level 2-3. It's best suited for horses that have completed basic training, are comfortable with direct rein pressure, and are ready for more tongue relief. It's an excellent choice for horses transitioning from a Level 1 bit, or those who tend to be fussy or resistant with a harsher mouthpiece, as it encourages a softer, more willing connection. It's also ideal for sensitive horses seeking consistent contact.

What are the advantages of the Eggbutt cheekpiece design?

The Eggbutt cheekpiece design offers several benefits, primarily stability and protection against pinching. Its fixed nature keeps the bit mouthpiece stable in the horse's mouth, providing consistent pressure that many horses, especially sensitive ones, prefer over a loose ring. This stability encourages the horse to confidently stretch into the contact, promoting a steadier connection and preventing unwanted movement of the bit that could distract or discomfort the horse.
