Myler Eggbutt MB 36 Bit - 5 1/2" Mouth - Stainless Steel Curved Mouthpiece with Independent Side Movement

Transform your horse’s responsiveness and comfort by eliminating tongue pressure with the Myler Eggbutt MB 36, the ultimate tool for achieving a soft, consistent connection. Designed for horses transitioning from a basic snaffle, this bit offers the perfect balance of tongue relief and clear communication to foster a relaxed, focused equine partner.

Crafted from premium stainless steel, the MB 36 features Myler’s signature Level 2-3 mouthpiece, specifically engineered for horses with a solid foundation who still show signs of resistance or a "busy" mouth. The forward-tilted port provides generous tongue room, encouraging the horse to relax at the poll while the independent side movement allows for incredibly refined lateral cues that traditional bits simply cannot match.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 36 Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: Features a 1/4" low, wide port tilted forward at a 45-degree angle to provide significant tongue relief when the horse is relaxed, while applying mild, even pressure to the bars when engaged.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): This innovative feature allows the rider to isolate one side of the bit for precise lateral cues, preventing the mouthpiece from "locking up" and enhancing overall responsiveness.
• Dressage Legal Design: The MB 36 mouthpiece is USEF and FEI Dressage legal, making it a premier choice for competitive riders in Dressage, Hunters, and Western Performance.
• Ergonomic 5 1/2" Curved Mouthpiece: Anatomically shaped to distribute pressure evenly across the bars and tongue, significantly reducing discomfort and promoting a steady, confident contact.
• Pinch-Free Eggbutt Cheeks: The stable eggbutt design provides a consistent feel in the mouth and prevents the bit from pulling through or pinching the sensitive corners of the lips.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: High-quality, rust-resistant material ensures long-lasting performance and a professional appearance through years of training and showing.
• The "Myler Fit" Engineering: Designed with a generous ergonomic curve that typically measures 1/4" larger than the advertised size to ensure the cheeks sit comfortably away from the horse's face.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this 5 1/2" bit?
A: Myler bits are engineered to run about 1/4" larger than their advertised size to accommodate their ergonomic curve. For a proper "Myler Fit," you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on each side of the horse's lips to prevent the Eggbutt cheeks from rubbing or pinching.

Q: Can this bit help with a horse that resists a standard snaffle?
A: Absolutely. The MB 36 is a highly effective "correctional" or transition bit for horses that show resistance to traditional jointed snaffles. By offering tongue relief via the 45-degree tilted port, it encourages the horse to stop fighting the bit and start following the seat and hand.
