Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 06 Mullen Low Port Barrel: Features a 3/4" port that provides significant tongue relief to prevent palate pressure and encourage a relaxed, swallowing horse.

• Copper Inlay Technology: Integrated copper promotes consistent salivation and a moist, accepting mouth for better pliability and bit acceptance.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheeks: The stainless steel eggbutt design provides a classic, stable feel in the mouth and effectively prevents pinching at the corners of the lips.

• Precision 5-Inch Fit: A versatile and widely suitable size designed to accommodate horses progressing toward higher degrees of collection and self-carriage.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How should the 5" Myler Eggbutt fit compared to a standard snaffle?
A: Unlike traditional bits that fit flush, Myler recommends a slightly wider fit. For this 5" bit, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse’s lips to ensure the curved mouthpiece sits correctly over the tongue and prevents the cheeks from rubbing.

Q: Is this specific MB 06 model legal for FEI and USEF Dressage?
A: Yes, the MB 06 mouthpiece on an eggbutt cheek is officially legal for both USEF and FEI dressage. Please ensure your specific setup does not include "hooks" (slots in the rings), as the hook-less version is required for compliance with FEI and British Dressage rules.

Q: Which horses benefit most from the Level 2-3 MB 06 mouthpiece?
A: This bit is ideal for horses with a steady disposition who are beginning to show self-carriage but may be resisting a solid bar or a basic jointed snaffle. The increased tongue relief helps them relax, swallow, and stay "on the bit" more consistently.
