Key Features & Benefits:

• Stable & Gentle Eggbutt Design: Prevents uncomfortable pinching at the corners of the mouth and provides consistent, soft contact, encouraging acceptance and a stable connection.

• Dressage Legal Confidence: Ride with complete peace of mind! This bit is generally recognized as USEF Dressage Legal (from 1/2012) and FEI Dressage Legal (from 7/2016), making it suitable for competitive use. (Always consult your organization's most current rule book for verification.)
• Encourages Salivation: Features a strategic copper inlay in the mouthpiece, promoting salivation and a more supple, responsive mouth.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Myler's patented ISM allows each side of the bit to move independently, facilitating precise, one-sided cues for clearer lateral communication and improved shoulder control. This eliminates the harsh "nutcracker" effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with Mullen Low Port dressage legal?

Yes, this specific Myler bit (featuring mouthpieces like MB06 or similar low ports) is designed to meet competitive standards. It is generally recognized as USEF Dressage Legal (from 1/2012) and FEI Dressage Legal (from 7/2016), provided it does not have "hooks" or slots in the rings. However, we always strongly advise riders to consult their specific organization's most current rule book to confirm compliance before competition, as rules can occasionally be updated.

How does the Mullen Low Port design contribute to my horse's comfort and relaxation?

The Mullen Low Port is specifically engineered to provide significant tongue relief. With a slight 1/4" to 3/4" port, it creates space for your horse's tongue, allowing them to swallow more freely and comfortably. This reduction in direct tongue pressure encourages relaxation, acceptance of the bit, and a softer mouth, leading to better focus and responsiveness. It distributes pressure evenly across the bars and lips without interfering with the palate.

What is Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM) and how does it improve communication?

Myler's Independent Side Movement (ISM) is a revolutionary feature that allows each side of the bit to move independently. This means you can apply a precise, separate cue to one side of your horse's mouth without affecting the other. This facilitates clearer lateral communication, improves shoulder control, and eliminates the harsh "nutcracker" effect often associated with traditional snaffles, promoting a more nuanced and effective dialogue between horse and rider.

Which type of horse is this Myler Mullen Low Port bit most suitable for?

This Myler Mullen Low Port bit is generally recommended for horses in Myler Level 2 or Level 3. This includes horses that have already received basic training, experienced horses, or those transitioning from a Level 1 bit. It provides increased tongue relief and stability compared to simpler snaffles, making it ideal for horses that are ready for more refined communication and benefit from the additional tongue space. It's often recommended for horses that are steady and willing but may show resistance or fussiness in a bit that applies more consistent tongue pressure.

What materials is the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle made from, and what are their benefits?

This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle is constructed primarily from high-quality stainless steel, known for its exceptional durability, longevity, and easy maintenance. The mouthpiece also features a strategic copper inlay, which encourages salivation and helps create a softer, more supple mouth. The eggbutt cheek design provides excellent stability in the horse's mouth and is specifically engineered to prevent pinching at the corners, ensuring maximum comfort for your horse.

How do I ensure the correct sizing and fit for this Myler bit?

Choosing the correct size is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Myler bits can sometimes run slightly larger than traditional bits, leading some riders to consider sizing down a quarter or half inch to ensure a proper fit without excessive gap at the sides. A proper fit also ensures the eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching. We highly recommend consulting with a knowledgeable trainer or professional bit fitter to determine the optimal size for your horse's mouth conformation and individual needs.
