Its generously wide and low port allows the horse's tongue to pass almost completely under the bit without rotation, minimizing tongue and palate pressure. It primarily works off the bars, lips, chin, and poll, encouraging salivation with its sweet iron and copper inlay, and allowing the horse to swallow easily and relax.What are the benefits and functions of the "hooks" on the eggbutt cheekpiece?The "hooks" are slots in the eggbutt ring designed to keep the bridle fixed and prevent the bit from sliding. They offer exceptional versatility with two rein positions: attaching the rein behind the hook provides direct action, while attaching it to the rein hook at the bottom allows for indirect action. This enables the rider to lift the cheek and utilize the mouthpiece's Independent Side Movement™. This feature allows for switching between direct and indirect actions without changing the bit and does not add leverage.Is a curb strap necessary with the Myler 33 Eggbutt with Hooks?A curb strap is highly recommended for ported mouthpieces like the MB 33. It helps balance the bit, provides additional pressure, and encourages the horse to flex from the poll, leading to more effective communication.Is this bit legal for competitive dressage?No, it is crucial to note that the Myler 33 Eggbutt with Hooks is NOT legal for competitive dressage.Which horses and riders are best suited for the Myler 33 Eggbutt with Hooks?This bit is ideal for "finished" or highly trained horses that possess a trustworthy and consistent disposition and are responsive to subtle leg and seat aids.
