Myler MB 36 Eggbutt Snaffle Bit - 5" Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - Level 2-3 Dressage Legal

Eliminate resistance and foster a deeper connection with a bit designed to prioritize your horse’s comfort and clarity of communication. The Myler MB 36 Eggbutt Snaffle is the ultimate tool for riders looking to move beyond tongue pressure and unlock a softer, more responsive partnership in the dressage arena.

Meticulously engineered for horses in Level 2-3 training, this bit features a stainless steel mouthpiece with a forward-tilted port and integrated copper inlays to promote relaxation through salivation. By utilizing Myler’s patented Independent Side Movement (ISM®), this bit allows for precise, one-sided cues that prevent the "nutcracker" effect of traditional snaffles, ensuring your horse remains calm, focused, and receptive to every aid.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Forward-Tilted Port: Features a wide, low port (approx. 1" high) tilted at a 45° angle to provide maximum tongue relief while protecting the sensitive palate from pressure.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM®): Patented technology allows each side of the bit to move independently, providing unparalleled clarity for bending, balancing, and lifting the shoulder.
• Dressage Legal Construction: This "No Hooks" version is fully USEF and FEI Dressage Legal, specifically designed for competition compliance without integrated rein or cheekpiece slots.
• Copper Inlay Bars: The stainless steel mouthpiece includes strategic copper inlays to encourage salivation, leading to a softer mouth and better overall acceptance of the bit.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpiece: The traditional stainless steel eggbutt design offers a direct, stable feel and effectively prevents pinching at the corners of the mouth.
• Myler Level 2-3 Design: Perfectly suited for horses with foundational training who are ready for increased tongue relief or those showing resistance to lower-level mouthpieces.
• Generous 5-Inch Fit: Engineered with the "Myler Gap," this 5" bit is manufactured to be slightly wider than stated to ensure the mouthpiece does not rub or pinch the horse's face.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this specific Myler bit legal for USEF and FEI Dressage competitions?
A: Yes. Because this model is the Eggbutt version without hooks (no integrated rein or cheekpiece slots), it is fully compliant with USEF and FEI Dressage regulations for Level 2-3. It is the premier choice for riders who need advanced tongue relief within the bounds of competition rules.

Q: How should I measure for the "Myler Gap" to ensure the correct fit?
A: Myler bits are intentionally sized roughly 1/8" to 1/4" wider than their stated size. When fitted correctly, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece visible on each side of the horse's lips. If the bit sits flush against the face, it is likely too small and may cause discomfort.

Q: What type of horse is the MB 36 mouthpiece best suited for?
A: This bit is ideal for horses that are "behind the bit" or showing resistance to tongue pressure. The forward-tilted port allows the horse to swallow easily and find a comfortable tongue position, making it a favorite for horses progressing through advanced schooling and eventing.
