Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Myler MB 04 mouthpiece promote comfort and effective communication?

The Myler MB 04 mouthpiece, a Level 2 Myler bit, features a unique ¼" low port and a curved shape. This innovative design provides crucial tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and relax. Its "Sweet Iron" composition with a copper inlay encourages natural salivation for a softer mouth, while the ergonomically curved shape prevents pinching of the lips and bars. This combination enhances comfort and acceptance, leading to more focused and responsive rides.

What are the unique advantages of the eggbutt cheekpiece design?

The eggbutt cheekpiece offers significant advantages in stability and comfort. Its rounded ends are specifically designed to prevent pinching of your horse's cheeks and lips, a common issue with other bit designs. The fixed rings provide a more stable feel in the horse's mouth, offering direct rein action that can be particularly beneficial for sensitive horses or those that need a consistent, trusting contact with the bit.

How do the "hooks" on this Myler bit enhance stability and rider communication?

The "hooks" are strategically placed slots that offer incredible versatility. Attaching your headstall to the top hook stabilizes the bit, preventing it from sliding and helping to hold it off the tongue when no pressure is applied. For reins, you can use the main ring for direct action, or the lower rein hook for indirect action. This indirect attachment slightly lifts the cheek, utilizing the Independent Side Movement™ more effectively for precise signals and encouraging flexion without increasing severity.

Is the Myler 04 Eggbutt with Hooks suitable for my horse, regardless of training level?

Yes, as a Myler Level 2 bit, it's highly versatile. It's an excellent choice for green horses, those transitioning from a Level 1 Myler bit, or experienced horses needing re-schooling. Its design aims to encourage a relaxed outline and forward movement by distributing pressure kindly and effectively, fostering a confident learning experience and increased mouth comfort for a wide range of horses.

Can I use a curb strap with this bit, and what are its benefits?

Yes, the Myler 04 Eggbutt with Hooks features a small loop behind the top slot designed to accommodate a curb strap. While the hooks themselves don't add leverage, adding a curb strap is often recommended for ported mouthpieces. It helps to distribute rein pressure more effectively across the jawline, providing a gentle reminder for your horse to soften and "give" to the bit, enhancing overall communication.

Is the Myler 04 Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks legal for competitive Dressage?

It is important to note that the Myler 04 Stainless Steel Eggbutt with Hooks (MB04 mouthpiece) is NOT legal for USEF, USDF, or FEI Dressage competitions. However, it is generally considered legal for Hunter, Jumper, and Eventing disciplines. We strongly advise consulting the most current rulebooks of your specific governing body before competing.
