Myler Eggbutt with Hooks MB 06 Mullen Barrel Low Port Bit - 5 1/2" Stainless Steel with Copper Inlay

Unlock a new level of responsiveness and relaxation by providing your horse with the ultimate tongue relief and precise lateral control. The Myler Eggbutt with Hooks is the perfect solution for the horse that has outgrown traditional mullen bits and requires a more sophisticated, comfortable connection to thrive in their training.

Engineered for Level 2-3 performance, this bit features the innovative MB 06 Mullen Barrel mouthpiece, meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel with a copper inlay to encourage salivation and bit acceptance. The unique Independent Side Movement (ISM) technology allows you to isolate each side of the bit, providing crystal-clear cues for bending and collection while the ergonomic low port eliminates painful palate pressure and pinching.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Myler Level 2-3 Mouthpiece: Specifically designed for horses with a solid foundation who require increased tongue relief and more refined communication.
• MB 06 Low Port Design: Features a 3/4" (19mm) port that allows the tongue to pass comfortably underneath, encouraging the horse to swallow, relax, and stay focused on your cues.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): Enables precise, one-sided signals for superior lateral control and balance, allowing you to address one side of the mouth without disturbing the other.
• Versatile Hooked Cheekpiece: Integrated slots for headstall and rein attachment allow you to stabilize the bit or utilize indirect action for a subtle "lift" and enhanced responsiveness.
• Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Durable, rust-resistant stainless steel paired with a copper inlay promotes moisture and a softer mouth for a more willing equine partner.
• Precise 5 1/2" (140mm) Sizing: Anatomically curved to fit the horse's mouth comfortably, ensuring the bit sits properly against the bars and lips without excessive play.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit legal for dressage competition?
A: While the MB 06 mouthpiece itself is often permitted on plain rings, the addition of the hooks on this specific eggbutt cheek renders it not dressage legal for USEF or FEI competition; it is an exceptional tool for schooling, trail riding, and other performance disciplines.

Q: What is the benefit of using the hooks instead of the main ring?
A: Attaching your reins and headstall to the hooks stabilizes the bit in a fixed position, preventing it from sliding and allowing for indirect rein action. This setup maximizes the Independent Side Movement for more refined signals and a subtle "lift" of the horse's shoulder.

Q: Does this bit require a curb strap?
A: Yes, when utilizing the hooks for rein attachment, it is highly recommended to use a curb strap (such as Item 89-0024) to ensure the bit remains balanced and the ported mouthpiece functions as intended.
