Elevate your dressage performance with a bit designed to eliminate tongue pressure and foster a truly willing, relaxed connection. This Myler Eggbutt Snaffle offers the perfect balance of stability and refined communication, ensuring your horse stays focused and comfortable throughout every movement in the arena.

Engineered for horses in Myler Level 2-3, this bit is meticulously crafted from high-quality stainless steel with strategic copper inlays to promote a soft, responsive mouth. Unlike traditional snaffles that create a harsh nutcracker effect, the MB 06 mouthpiece utilizes a curved ergonomic design and a low port to distribute pressure evenly across the bars while giving the tongue the room it needs to swallow freely.

Key Features & Specifications:

• USEF & FEI Dressage Legal: Ride with confidence knowing this plain eggbutt design (without hooks) meets competitive standards for both national and international dressage (USEF legal since 2012; FEI legal since 2016).
• Mullen Low Port (14mm): The 1/4" port provides significant tongue relief, allowing your horse to swallow comfortably and relax their jaw, which is essential for achieving a true throughness.
• Independent Side Movement (ISM): The patented internal barrel allows each side of the bit to move independently, enabling precise lateral cues and superior shoulder control that a traditional solid mullen mouth cannot provide.
• Stable Eggbutt Cheekpieces: The fixed cheek design prevents uncomfortable pinching at the corners of the mouth and provides a consistent, reliable contact that encourages the horse to stretch into the bridle.
• Integrated Copper Inlay: Strategic copper strips within the mouthpiece promote salivation and a more supple, accepting mouth for improved communication and responsiveness.
• Durable Stainless Steel Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of daily training and competition, offering exceptional longevity, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Is this bit legal for dressage competition?
A: Yes, the Myler MB 06 Eggbutt is generally USEF and FEI dressage legal provided it is the plain version without "hooks" or slots in the rings. Its stable cheek and gentle port make it a premier choice for riders seeking a consistent connection without the harshness of a single-jointed bit.

Q: How do I ensure the correct sizing for my horse?
A: Myler bits feature an ergonomic curve and often run slightly large; professionals recommend sizing down by 1/4" if your horse falls between sizes. For a perfect fit, you should see approximately 1/8" to 1/4" of the bit visible on either side of the horse's lips.

Q: What are the benefits of Independent Side Movement (ISM)?
A: ISM allows you to apply a cue to one side of the horse's mouth without affecting the other. This facilitates much clearer lateral communication, allowing you to lift a shoulder or flex the poll with nuance rather than the blunt pressure of a standard bit.
