Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit MB 36 - Forward Tilted Port, Stainless Steel & Copper Inlay, 14mm - Dressage Legal

Experience a breakthrough in communication with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and encourage a soft, willing connection. The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with Forward Tilted Port (MB 36) provides the legal tongue relief your horse needs to excel in the dressage arena while resolving resistance caused by traditional jointed snaffles.

Engineered with Myler’s signature Level 2-3 bitting philosophy, this bit is crafted from high-quality stainless steel and features the specialized MB 36 mouthpiece. By utilizing a 45-degree forward tilt, the port offers significant tongue relief when the horse is off-contact, allowing for a comfortable swallow and a relaxed jaw while maintaining precise, independent control through Independent Side Movement (ISM) technology.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 36 Forward Tilted Port: Features a 45° angle that provides maximum tongue relief when off-contact, encouraging relaxation and a quiet mouth for horses with low palates or tongue sensitivity.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The mouthpiece is jointed at the sides of the port, allowing the rider to move one side of the bit independently to isolate a shoulder or give clear lateral aids.
• Dressage Legal Design: Confidently enter the show ring with a bit approved for USEF (since 1/2012) and FEI (since 7/2016) dressage competition standards.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: The 14mm stainless steel bars feature strategic copper inlays to stimulate salivation and promote a "sweet" taste, preventing the horse from becoming dry or resistant.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpiece: Provides a consistent, direct 1:1 signal and prevents the pinching of the lips and bars, ensuring your aids are understood with absolute clarity.
• Ergonomic Curved Design: Anatomically shaped to follow the curve of the horse's mouth, this design eliminates the "nutcracker" action and provides ample room for the tongue to sit comfortably.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for a Myler bit?
A: Myler bits are designed with a "Myler Overage" in mind. You should select a size that is 1/8" to 1/4" wider than your horse’s measured mouth width; you should see roughly 1/8" of the mouthpiece on either side of the mouth before the eggbutt begins to accommodate the forward curve.

Q: Is this bit appropriate for a horse that resists contact or tosses its head?
A: Yes, this Level 2-3 bit is ideal for horses that show resistance to the constant tongue pressure of traditional snaffles. The forward-tilted port allows the horse to swallow and relax while "off-contact," which frequently resolves head tossing and tongue-related tension.
