Transform your horse's responsiveness and relaxation with the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle MB 06, the ultimate tool for riders seeking a refined, harmonious connection without the "nutcracker" pressure of traditional snaffles. Engineered to promote a soft, accepting mouth, this bit provides the precise communication required to excel in the dressage arena and beyond.

Crafted from premium stainless steel with integrated copper inlays, the MB 06 is more than just a bit—it is a sophisticated communication system designed for the discerning equestrian. The innovative Mullen low port design offers Level 2-3 tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow and relax through the jaw and poll, while the durable construction ensures a long-lasting, elegant finish that stands up to the rigors of daily training and competition.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Dressage Legal Design: Fully compliant with USEF and FEI regulations (when used without hooks), allowing you to ride with total confidence in the competitive show ring.
• Level 2-3 Tongue Relief: Features a 3/4" low port barrel that provides significant tongue relief without palate pressure, making it the ideal choice for horses that "get busy" in the mouth or resist traditional snaffles.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The unique barrel design allows for isolated, one-sided rein cues, enabling precise lateral communication for bending, suppling, and lifting the shoulder.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Specifically engineered to encourage salivation and a softer mouth, promoting better acceptance of the bit and overall horse comfort.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpieces: Prevents painful pinching at the corners of the mouth and provides a consistent, steady feel that helps the horse maintain a reliable contact.
• Precision Myler Sizing: Engineered to be approximately 1/8" to 1/4" larger than advertised to accommodate the "Myler fit rule," ensuring the mouthpiece clears the horse's face to prevent rubbing.
• Premium Stainless Steel: High-quality construction that offers superior durability and a professional aesthetic for both schooling and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I have the correct size for my horse?
A: Myler bits are designed with an "oversize" standard, measuring 1/8" to 1/4" larger than the advertised size. When fitted correctly, there should be a visible 1/8" to 1/4" gap of the mouthpiece showing on each side of the horse's mouth to prevent the Eggbutt cheeks from pinching or rubbing against the face.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is sensitive to tongue pressure?
A: Yes, the MB 06 is a Level 2-3 bit specifically engineered for horses that need more tongue relief than a basic Level 2 bit. The 3/4" low port allows the tongue to pass underneath comfortably, distributing pressure evenly across the bars and lips to encourage relaxation through the jaw.

Q: Can I use this bit in FEI or British Dressage competitions?
A: The Myler MB 06 is dressage legal under USEF and FEI rules; however, riders must ensure their specific model does not include "hooks" (slots in the cheek rings), as these are generally not permitted in dressage. This Eggbutt version provides a stable, legal profile for the arena.
