Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit MB 36 Forward Tilted Port - 6" Mouthpiece - Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - Dressage Legal

Stop fighting for contact and start communicating with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and encourage a soft, relaxed jaw. The Myler Eggbutt Snaffle with a Forward Tilted Port (MB 36) is the ultimate solution for horses that resist traditional bits, offering the precise signals needed for high-level performance and dressage legality.

Meticulously engineered from premium stainless steel with integrated copper inlays, this Level 2-3 bit represents the pinnacle of Myler’s ergonomic design. By prioritizing the horse's oral anatomy, this bit facilitates a clearer connection between horse and rider, allowing for nuanced schooling and lateral movement without the discomfort or "nutcracker" action of a traditional jointed snaffle.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 36 Forward Tilted Port: Provides significant tongue relief (1 ¼" – 1 ½" port) even when the horse is at rest or on a light contact, making it ideal for horses with low palates or tongue sensitivity.
• 6" Mouthpiece Sizing: Designed for larger horses; following the "Myler Quarter-Inch" rule, this 6" bit provides the necessary clearance and comfort for horses that typically wear a 5.75" traditional bit.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Features Myler’s patented central barrel, allowing each side of the bit to move independently for precise lateral cues, improved bending, and superior shoulder control.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpiece: This classic 14mm design ensures a steady feel in the mouth, preventing pinching at the corners of the lips while delivering a direct and consistent signal.
• Dressage Legal Construction: Ride with confidence knowing this bit is fully compliant with USEF (1/2012) and FEI (7/2016) dressage regulations for competition.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Promotes natural salivation and a softer, more accepting jaw, which helps the horse relax into the contact and maintain focus.
• Premium Stainless Steel: Built for durability and longevity, the high-quality construction withstands the rigors of daily training and professional competition environments.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if the 6" size is the correct fit for my horse?
A: Myler bits are designed to fit about 1/4" wider than traditional bits. For a 6" mouthpiece, you should see 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit visible on either side of the horse's lips. We recommend adjusting your cheekpieces to create two soft wrinkles at the corners of the mouth to ensure the port clears the teeth perfectly.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that "gets behind the bit" or evades contact?
A: Yes, this is a premier "problem-solver" bit. The MB 36 mouthpiece is specifically designed for horses that show resistance to tongue pressure by poking their noses out or getting behind the vertical, providing the relief they need to finally trust the rider's hand.

Q: What is the benefit of the Forward Tilted Port compared to a standard port?
A: Unlike traditional ports that only offer relief when the reins are active, the forward tilt ensures the horse has constant tongue room even when the rider is not applying pressure. This encourages the horse to stay relaxed and focused throughout the entire ride.
