Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit - MB 06 Mullen Low Port 14mm - Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay - Dressage Legal

Transform your horse’s resistance into a willing partnership with the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle, specifically engineered to provide the tongue relief and stability needed for refined dressage performance. This MB 06 mouthpiece eliminates the "nutcracker" pinch of traditional jointed bits, allowing sensitive horses with low palates to finally relax their jaw and focus on your subtle aids.

Crafted from high-grade 14mm stainless steel, this bit represents the pinnacle of the Myler Bitting System’s Level 2-3 design. It bridges the gap between basic training and advanced collection by utilizing a curved, ergonomic mullen port that encourages natural swallowing and a softer connection, ensuring your horse remains comfortable even under the steady contact required in the competitive arena.

Key Features & Specifications:

• MB 06 Mullen Low Port: Features a 1/4" port that offers significant tongue relief and prevents palate interference, making it the ideal choice for horses with large tongues or low palates.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): A signature Myler feature that allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise lateral cues and shoulder control without engaging the entire mouthpiece.
• Dressage Legal Design: Fully USEF and FEI approved for dressage competition, this version is designed without hooks (slots) to ensure total compliance with international equipment regulations.
• Fixed Eggbutt Cheekpieces: Provides a stable, consistent feel in the horse's mouth and prevents the pinching of sensitive lips, encouraging the horse to stretch confidently into the contact.
• Copper Inlay Mouthpiece: Strategically placed copper promotes natural salivation and bit acceptance, leading to a softer, more responsive mouth and a more willing attitude.
• Tapered 14mm Construction: The mouthpiece tapers from 14mm at the cheeks to approximately 11mm at the center, maximizing room for the tongue while maintaining superior durability.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the correct fit for this Myler bit?
A: Myler bits are designed to fit slightly wider than traditional bits. For the MB 06 Eggbutt, you should look for a 1/8" to 1/4" gap between the horse’s lip and the cheekpiece on both sides to ensure the port is positioned correctly over the tongue.

Q: Is this bit suitable for a horse that is "behind the bit" or fussy with contact?
A: Yes! This Level 2-3 bit is specifically designed for horses that have a solid foundation but have become resistant to tongue pressure. The tongue relief provided by the low port encourages the horse to relax their jaw and accept a steadier, more confident contact.
