Myler MB 36 Eggbutt Snaffle Bit - 6 Inch - Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - USEF FEI Dressage Legal

Achieve a higher level of harmony with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and invite a softer, more willing connection. The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with the MB 36 mouthpiece is the ultimate solution for horses seeking relief from palate pressure without sacrificing precise, nuanced communication.

Crafted from high-quality stainless steel with signature copper inlays, this Level 2-3 bit is engineered for the horse that has mastered the basics and requires more tongue freedom to perform at its peak. The anatomical curve and Independent Side Movement (ISM®) allow for clear lateral aids, while the stable eggbutt cheekpiece prevents pinching and ensures the bit remains steady in the mouth, fostering a confident and relaxed equine partner during training and competition.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 36 Mouthpiece: Features a unique 45° forward-tilted port that provides significant tongue relief and allows the horse to swallow naturally.
• 6-Inch Mouth Size: Specifically sized for larger breeds, Warmbloods, or Draft crosses, designed to sit comfortably across a wider muzzle.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM®): Enables the rider to give isolated, one-sided signals without the bit collapsing or pinching the bars.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Actively encourages natural salivation to promote a softer, more accepting mouth and a relaxed jaw.
• Stable Eggbutt Design: Crafted from durable stainless steel to provide a direct feel and prevent the bit from being pulled through the mouth during lateral work.
• Dressage Legal: Fully compliant with USEF (since 2012) and FEI (since 2016) Dressage regulations in this hook-free configuration.
• Myler Level 2-3: Ideal for horses with a solid disposition and basic training that require more tongue room than a traditional snaffle.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How should I check the fit for this 6-inch Myler bit?
A: Myler bits are designed with an anatomical curve and should show approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the mouthpiece on each side of the horse's lips. This "Myler Gap" ensures the cheekpieces do not rub the face while allowing the mouthpiece to sit correctly over the tongue.

Q: Is this specific MB 36 model legal for USEF and FEI Dressage?
A: Yes, this version of the MB 36 Eggbutt is 100% dressage legal because it does not feature hooks (slots in the rings). It offers the stability favored by dressage riders while providing the advanced tongue relief of a ported mouthpiece.
