Myler 04 Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks - MB 04 Comfort Snaffle Sweet Iron Copper Inlay Level 2

Elevate your horse’s responsiveness and comfort with the Myler 04 Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks, designed to eliminate resistance through superior tongue relief and independent side movement. This Level 2 bit is the ultimate tool for riders seeking a harmonious partnership and a softer, more focused equine athlete.

Meticulously engineered from high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this bit features the renowned MB 04 Comfort Snaffle mouthpiece. By integrating a "Sweet Iron" composition with copper inlays, it naturally encourages salivation and relaxation, while the ergonomic curve prevents the pinching of lips and bars common in traditional snaffles.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Level 2 MB 04 Mouthpiece: Features a ¼" low port that provides essential tongue relief, rotating onto the tongue only when needed to reward a relaxed, soft frame.
• Independent Side Movement™: The central barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise lateral cues for lifting a shoulder or bending without affecting the opposite side of the mouth.
• Sweet Iron & Copper Inlay: The mouthpiece is crafted to oxidize over time, creating a sweet taste that, combined with copper inlays, promotes salivation and quicker bit acceptance.
• Integrated Cheek Hooks: Strategic slots allow for fixed bridle and rein attachment, providing a mild leverage-like action and stabilizing the bit to prevent sliding or unwanted tongue pressure.
• Pinch-Free Eggbutt Design: The fixed-ring eggbutt cheekpiece is ideal for horses with fleshy lips or large jowls, ensuring the bit remains stable while preventing painful pinching.
• Myler Sizing Precision: Manufactured 1/8" wider than the stated size (available in 4.75", 5", and 5.5") to provide the necessary clearance for the horse's lips—no need to size up.
• Durable Stainless Steel Build: Constructed from premium, corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-lasting performance and reliability through daily schooling and rigorous training sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit legal for Dressage or Hunter competitions?
A: While the MB 04 mouthpiece is often accepted, the "with hooks" version is generally illegal for sanctioned Dressage and most Hunter classes; it is best utilized for schooling, eventing, or jumping where mild leverage is permitted.

Q: How do I choose the correct size for my horse?
A: Follow the "1/8 Inch Rule"—Myler bits are built slightly wider than their nominal size to ensure a perfect fit. If your horse measures a true 5", purchase the 5" bit to achieve the intended 1/8" clearance on each side of the lips.
