This design actively discourages leaning on the bit and encourages a softer, more receptive mouth. It is classified as a Myler Level 2-3 bit, making it ideal for horses with foundational training and good self-control, or those in advanced training who may be showing resistance to Level 2 mouthpieces.Is this Myler bit truly dressage legal for competition?Yes, the Myler Eggbutt Snaffle Bit MB 36 is approved as legal for USEF (United States Equestrian Federation) dressage competitions (as of 1/2012). While it has also been cited as compliant with FEI dressage regulations (as of 7/2016), we strongly recommend consulting your specific organization's most current rulebook for the most up-to-date regulations, as rules can occasionally change and interpretations vary by governing body.How do Independent Side Movement (ISM®) and the Eggbutt cheekpiece benefit my horse?Myler's patented Independent Side Movement (ISM®) allows each side of the mouthpiece to move independently, providing more precise and nuanced signals for bending, balancing, or lifting a shoulder. This results in clearer communication between horse and rider. The traditional Eggbutt cheekpiece offers a stable and consistent feel in your horse's mouth, giving a direct signal and effectively preventing pinching at the corners of the mouth for consistent comfort.What role does the copper inlay play in the mouthpiece?The copper inlay within the mouthpiece is designed to subtly encourage salivation in your horse. Increased salivation promotes a softer, more relaxed mouth, which in turn leads to better acceptance of the bit and improved responsiveness to your aids.How do I ensure I choose the correct size for my horse?Proper sizing is crucial for comfort and effectiveness. Myler bits can sometimes run slightly differently than traditional bits.
